I love this. But too much stuff is built with nothing but low cost and planned obsolescence in mind. Take computers, for example, where RAM and other components are often soldered in when they used to always be modular.
Look to WW2 for an example of American manufacturing might, then look at the Trump era economy. We are so very capable of having a spearpoint recovery "V".
With incentives and far fewer regulations, the world is ours...
It is still a problem that exploded under Bidan, so other leaders must have been doing things much more efficiently. Do you think they are banking on a die-off to decrease demand for consumer goods?
Initially I thought it was an interesting article; after reflection I realized how hard the author was trying to convince me of his argument. Also, I think the ports are backed up due to EO 13848, not some chassis part.
IMO this all seems to be something like you mentioned as well as these types of cascading failures that can occur with inefficient systems.
When dealing with "just in time" deliveries now to minimize warehouse space, any failures can be compensated, but pretty quickly can look like the half-empty shelves that are shown in many places.
Sometimes with some hopium I feel like Biden is the fall guy for irreversible pain the USA was going to go through then Trump returns to save the day... Like a movie.
I don’t think anyone associated with the vaccine, much less the “Father of the Vaccine,” will ever return to save the day. Society will never accept this once they find out what the vax actually is, and realize they injected it into their children. There will be blood in the streets.
I think about this often and wonder how our future will be shaped. Just my humble opinion.
So what's to stop somebody with a machine shop from making these parts that are in short supply to the exact same specs as the original factory and then selling the parts to the companies that need them?
Is it possible to mass produce custom auto parts made to order?
Thank you for such intricate detail about the “supply chain” problems. YOU WROTE: “What it will truly take to fix this problem is to run EVERYTHING 24/7: ports (both coastal and domestic),trucks, and warehouses. We need tens of thousands more chassis, and a much greater capacity in trucking. “ Why don’t the bosses/powers-that-be LISTEN to people who really know? Money is why; they get their pay.
He ain't wrong. My brother, 25years OTR trucker, owner/operator, auctioned his truck and trailer. Took early retirement, lost everything he had. House, truck, trailer, and now drives a forklift for the devil(walmart). NAFTA hit him hard, but the plandemic almost killed him.
Sorry, but a truck driver who believes the only solution is to pay people better is ignorant of the larger scope of the problem. His piece is legitimate, but it is only one piece... likely the symptom, not the cause.
Could this be something the military could temporarily step into to straighten out? And thank you for supplying the country with goods. I really had no idea how much of a cluster F all this shipping was and how shat upon the drivers are. :(
Sounds like a business opportunity for “Made in USA”

This makes me wonder... maybe Devolution is real???
Trump wanted to bring manufacturing back to US in order to MAGA and not rely on China or rest of the world so much.
But I'm sure that would've been hard to do without pushback and looking bad.
However, with corona under Poopgate Joe, its very easy to blame the resident and start manufacturing here in defiance of him.
But I do think it would take waaaay more than one presidential term really boost our manufacturing capabilities.

Add to this the growing shortage of replacement parts for the repairs to keep the trucks running.
Opportunities in the new black market!
Interesting read.

I'm a trucker. I go to the ports once in a while. He's correct.

I couldn't have said this better myself.
let's end this mess and stop buying anything "made in china"! there's nothing that we cannot make here in the USA.
Anything you've bought lately made in America?
Amen to that
I need a microwave. Which one is made in America?
Several GE and kitchenaid models are made in America.

Too, and die cast and found.
Ya, you can 3D scan them into a cadd file and a machine can slice it up for you. Costly to BUY the machine but once you get going who knows
Things worked fine last year and the year before. If wages need to go up then they need to go up. These port fees are bullshit, though.

I’ don’t believe 80% of this. Fear porn and it’s Sounds like complete bullocks.
I heard our made in America Auto industry is going to thrive once again.

As an owner operator, I can say this is nuts on!

Ship yards have always been this way. I'm used to it lol
Oh, so it's NOT all about an EO?
