Concur. But it usually takes 80 years or so.
And we’re just now being ushered into the chains!
Jon Prosser's presentation is imho one of the best among tech YouTubers (the best imho is Dave 2D Lee's), and over the years has morphed from being a teen android user to being a chronologically adult mixed-use case. In one vid, he explains why his vids are heavy on Apple coverage.
Anyway, the Chinese contractor for some of Apple's manufacturing is located in Shanghai, and the CCP has made sure their shutdown has worked to keep some of the critical plants (like Tesla's gargantuan Shanghai plant) operating. They've been bunking the workforce in each plant, and made sure they're kept fed.

One cannot do enough for the woke, because there isn't enough. There's no end to the demands of unfettered power.
China's CCP wants the exports to continue, and has found that their microphobia panic porn, while culturally appropriate, has literally shattered the Chinese economy.
Given the petroleum price spike that has turned into the new normal, the Chinese housing bubble (euphemism), Putin's war for the lithium deposits in Ukraine, and their very own Taiwan sideshow, I don't expect supply chain problems (euphemism) to improve for the balance of 2022.
Most of the rest of the Quanta keyword:
The current theory is that this whole covid episode may be an information gathering stress test for the CCP when they attack Taiwan.
They tested that against India, and found it wanting. Their sabre-rattling against Taiwan is due to the spineless a-hole in the White House and his Chinese-paid cadre. There will never been a better opportunity for the CCP to invade Taiwan, but they can't pull it off, and they know it. Bluff sometimes works. Also, it distracts the country they illegally occupy -- China. :^)
