The global trade market is much older & stable then we think. Already in the 1600’s the Dutch figured out it was more efficient to import grains from Eastern Europe. And focus on agriculture fitting to the land. Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin came along. And some bad years during the war. But essentially the Dutch haven’t produced one of their main staple foods for the last 400 years.

There isn’t a human on earth that could single handedly remake a factory that produces high quality carbon prepreg sheets. We made world massively complex, but humans are absolutely no smarter than 10,000 years ago. This is extra bad for our below average types. The kid working at Jiffy Lube flurry years ago could be competent at that, he had to know three oil filter styles, and four oils. Now, his generational equivalent has to know so much more and do it while globally connected to an attention-addiction.
