- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoAll supply chains have been devastated. The question is whether globalized supply chains are doing worse than local ones.
- MichaelMoser123 7y agoi guess it now depends on each government - is a state able and willing to prop up its industry in times of crisis or not?
- ping_pong 7y agoThat goes in direct contradiction to what you just said above. Either global supply chains are devastated or they are not. You very clearly said that global supply chains were not hit.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoFair, I was imprecise. My point is, companies that exist solely to maintain the supply chain aren't doing great, but that seems to mostly be because so many people aren't producing stuff - as far as I can tell the stuff that is produced is making it around the world with no problems. I've found no shortage of the things I consume that are produced in Asia.
