Your phrasing "fuck-ups by automotive" brought to mind something: if automotive didn't fuck-up, would that have reduced the shortages ? In the automotive sector, yes, of course, but not the general shortages, surely ? Would we'd just have shortages elsewhere, notably in home electronics, which is the industry that picked up all the spare production capacity that automotive freed.
Is one better than the other ?
- mschuster91 5y agoThe problem is the ripple effect that automotive has across societies. It's one thing if shitcoin miners or gamers have to wait for GPUs, but when the automotive industry with its many millions of employees and in sequence its supply chain with even more millions of employees is grinding to a halt, the impact is immense. If anything, corona has shown us how extremely unhealthy the dependency of modern society on the automotive industry is. We need to wean ourselves off of that, and the sooner we begin the better - climate change is the next catastrophe waiting in the starting block.
