I didn't say anything, but was thinking, well that's great, as long as you can still buy most of the materials to make it......... Most of which are MADE IN CHINA..
In the article in the OP, did you have a chance to read it? If so, did you see what the author wrote about the rubber shortage in WWII? There is a reason they call the people of my parents' and yours generation The Greatest.
"In 1940, with Europe already ablaze, the United States had a smaller army than either Portugal or Bulgaria. Within four years, 18 million men and women would serve in uniform, with millions more working double shifts in mines and factories that made America, as President Roosevelt promised, the arsenal of democracy.
When the Japanese within six weeks of Pearl Harbor took control of 90 percent of the world’s rubber supply, the U.S. dropped the speed limit to 35 mph to protect tires, and then, in three years, invented from scratch a synthetic-rubber industry that allowed Allied armies to roll over the Nazis. At its peak, Henry Ford’s Willow Run Plant produced a B-24 Liberator every two hours, around the clock. Shipyards in Long Beach and Sausalito spat out Liberty ships at a rate of two a day for four years; the record was a ship built in four days, 15 hours and 29 minutes. A single American factory, Chrysler’s Detroit Arsenal, built more tanks than the whole of the Third Reich."
Can you even begin to imagine if this happened today... the reaction from the Reichtards? "Hell NO, I ain't given up my honkin' huge ass tires for my truck-which-I-don't-need-'cause-I-live-in-a-1800-sq-foot-house-in-the-burbs-and-don't-transport-nuthin-heavier-n-my-fat-wife-and-fat-kids! And I ain't drivin' no pussy 35 mph either! Try n stop me!"
Sigh.
