Too many comments like this in here. Y'all totally & completely miss the point.
You can't just build a factory in a day, nor even a month.
You can't just wave a magic wand and magically start producing stuff like truck driveshafts, computer chips, etc. overnight, prob not even in a year.
The point is that we're going to start seeing massive shortages NOW, and it will take a very significant amount of time to address those, and that time in between is what will be brutal.
Also understand that everything - LITERALLY EVERYTHING is trucked at some point.
People don't understand how crucial trucking is.
This is a very significant post - and it's now proven true - and seems a lot in here aren't getting the true impact.
