The chip shortage is much worse than you thought. Prices of cars will skyrocket and there are car shortages now. It is very bad for the economy. People have money to buy cars but there are too few cars at too high a price.
The extreme mandates really did a lot of damage and everything is so fragile.
~ Industry forecasters predict vehicle sales from July through September were less than 3.4 million, down between 13% and 14% from a year earlier.

Note that the chips needed for Electric Cars seem to be available, but chips for REAL vehicles are the ones in short supply. Traitor Joe made gasoline scarce so cost is way up and the Government is subsidizing Electric Vehicles and charging Stations. This is nothing but trying to back door the Green New Deal.
How’s that relying on Asia in general and China in particular for our manufacturing working for us? Why do we import what we can produce? I know, it’s greed. We can import cheaper than we can produce. It’s disgusting how people can demand high wages and compensation for their work but be extremely cheap when it comes to compensation for those whom they hire. We can see the results of that attitude in the reduction in the middle class.
Don’t blame me I voted for Trump.

Plan and prep accordingly.
They got us out of our cars through the back door. Dealers are scrambling for used cars. Forget becoming Venezuela, they’re not stopping until they turn us into Cuba.
