This is so concerning on so many levels. The ineptitude and lack of accountability by the powers that be is borderline criminal.
In a separate vein I'm sure I'm not the only one to realize that people in the West, and in America in particular, have forgotten how to make things. Be it fogbank, tanks, textiles, semiconductors and soon to be cars. We keep farming out manufacturing to the lowest oversees bidders and soon enough all we know how to do is place orders.
What happens, god forbid, when our trading partners become our enemies and they withhold the materials which we need to fight them. How about the semiconductors used in critical systems are compromised by foreign actors? All we can do is hope people at the helm have already thought of this stuff and are doing things to mitigate the risk. I'm not too sure.
