I kind of wonder what this means for our prospects of being able to make complicated products in the future. Presumably this will all settle out and we'll eventually settle back into a working supply chain that's maybe a little less centralized and with more redundancy. But that's not guaranteed. In order to deal with climate change and maintain a decent quality of living, we need to replace a lot of ICE vehicles with electric replacements over the next decade or two. What happens if major manufacturers just can't make cars because the parts aren't available, and we're basically just stuck with the cars we already have for as long as we can keep them running? This has already happened to some extent thanks to Covid-19 and poor logistics planning, but it could be a lot longer and a lot worse if, say, China were to attempt to invade Taiwan or there's some new, unexpected catastrophe (natural or artificial).
