Too much dependence on computers.
Good preppers would have stuff that’s mechanical and not computer chip dependent.
“Good preppers would have stuff that’s mechanical and not computer chip dependent.”
I got a box of LM555’s put away in a Faraday cage for this very reason.
You have to be a geek to get the joke.
Yes, like a real landline with cords.
Too much dependence on computers.

True, but old 30 to 40 year old stuff probably will force much more farm labor to do what can be done today.
Anyone willing to work in the fields?
FIXED IT.
(from the article):" farm equipment manufacturers have halted shipments to dealers because they don’t have the chips to put in the equipment…"
Now fill in the underlined blank space listed above in the article with :
new cars and automotive industry
p.c. computer manufacturers
internet ISP's, telecommunications
machining and tool and die shops
mining and ore production
electrical power generators and distribution
Etc., etc., etc., etc.
Now,.. realize that most of these electronic parts and chips are fabricated in Taiwan and you can see the importance of a free Taiwan to the electronics world.
Also, a free Taiwan represents an international port that would prevent any Chinese military and commercial expansionism.
Just as we have learned our lesson about having a singular source for most of our American prescriptive medication coming from a single source,
so also should we learn that concentrated production of any one product is totally dependent on the supply chain being meticulously maintained and remain secure.
