1,000% tariff on all imported electronic should fix it. MAKE IT HERE, DO IT NOW.
Can you imagine if we get into to a war of attrition with the ChiComs? "Sorry, but we have to to tool up so could ya'll wait a few years on this war thing"???

There’s clearly going to be a market for transport and other machinery.
Potomac mills, used to be Banks salvage.
It was so large that they had to build a rail line to the site and they set up a gigantic car shredder operation and they started feeding the car shredder ejecta into the rail cars and carted them off, probably to China. Once that happened all the old cars 40s,50s,60,70s... no longer any large viable source of used salvage parts.
I went in there when I was younger and I needed a 1962 Chevy Biscayne rear end with a mechanical Overdrive they sent a guy out to some place in that yard which was acres and acres and in about a half an hour there was a differential sitting on the counter and I think it cost me a hundred bucks or something like that. That place was remarkable.

So the USA cannot make chips. Almost every weapon system is computerized and requires a chip set so......

“I know for automobiles, much of it is due to government mandates - but what about other things?”
People LIKE electronics. Tell them their columbine is self-driving or has a GPS display and they’ll buy it, certainly over the ones that have smelly carburetors, for example.

People LIKE electronics.Patriots and US citizens like electronics that are designed, engineered and made in the USA by US citizens. Fixed it.

Oh we can make chips.
We can definitely make chips
Used to work a PGA fab factory (Alcoa) as an test engineer in my youth.
Actually wasn’t a huge Taiwan chip maker set to open a fab plant in Arizona? (Before Xiden, of course)

LM555’s are timer chips.
LM380’s are audio amps.
LM741 is operational amp. (& LM358’s)
I’ve got them all, not in box quantities.
And I can etch printed circuit boards.
My junk box is a room.
