> It's also impossible to bring back horses as main vehicle of transportation until you have a civilisation collapse That’s a bad read of the situation. It’s not like no one makes chips. The reasons people cite for why manufacturers don’t come to America are largely political. The reality is that manufacturing is alive and well but those with industry knowledge aren’t American, and America has most left low margin and high labor manufacturing not all manufacturing. In this case, America is literally paying the Taiwanese to bring their knowledge to America. Is the world collapsing? No one knows but this can be more easily seen as “vertical integration” of a national economy. No one said Samsung was doomed when apple made their own mobile chips, and there’s no reason that the global economy is doomed just because the richest and most powerful economy in the world wanted a strategically important, high margin business.
