ADINSX posted:Its cliche but if your philosophy is "I'd never shoot someone, its just for my safety" then its not actually making you safe, you have to be willing to use it. it is mind-boggling that someone would carry a firearm while thinking they would never pull the trigger. that's such a liability. like, gently caress, people get mugged for pistols. also, isn't drawing a weapon, with the intent of threatening the other person by display of the firearm, a whole separate crime?

they’re supposedly getting one lane of one highway out of three routes through BC back up and running “soon” though the transcanada is still hosed and that’s the only highway with any capacity that leaves Vancouver so rip

they apparently have reopened the crowsnest highway now, so in theory shipping companies could take the long road to the crowsnest by taking the bridge over the fraser to maple ridge and riding the lougheed highway out to hope, but some of that road is fuckin ooooold and cuts down to a two lane road for most of that stretch so nothing's gonna get through in a timely manner that however leaves you on the fuckin crowsnest which means your first sign of civilization after crossing the rockies is going to be lethbridge so you are WAY in the gently caress of nowhere

my dad keeps asking me to explain the chip shortage to him and when i do he shakes his head and says he doesn't buy it. 'there has to be more than this than that' he says. like, the idea that such a thing is even possible and companies can't just magic wand a fix seems impossible to him. this has been the third time in six months he's brought this up and has had the same response each time. is there some sort of conspiracy theory floating around about THE REAL REASON THEY WON'T TELL YOU because it really feels like he has some other explanation but isn't willing to say what it is. oh he's also blaming the la port backup on unions and not, you know, *gestures at everything falling apart everywhere*

People are keen to blame Biden but that's about it. At a higher level though there's generally a lot of denial about the impacts of covid (because it's just like the flu right?). So pure conjecture, it's not hard to imagine that extending to supply chain issues, and I think most lay people don't really critically comprehend the complexities of international supply chains anyways. To look at it another way, acknowledging how much covid hosed up the supply chain worse than anything else since, like, World War 2 requires that you acknowledge just how bad the virus is.

I'm honestly surprised we don't constantly have shortages. The entire idea behind a global distributed supply chain that manufactures everything "just in time" is that every part can be made at the lowest possible cost, exactly when you need it (so nothing is sitting there on a shelf depreciating, etc) The only downside being if anything happens anywhere in the world for any reason, poo poo gets complicated.

there's probably some element of the standard right wing inoculation against the idea that capitalism can ever fail. usually of the "capitalism and competition are good so the only reason the existing players haven't fixed this or a new upstart has undercut them is because of government regulatino" etc etc

But that doesn't make for good quarterly numbers so in that sense, I guess it is an anti-capitalism argument.

also wrt automakers specifically they hosed themselves by canceling reserved chip capacity. they were assuming they could start it back up at any time but that's not how it works with current chip demand.

the biggest factor in most of the shortages isn't even supply-chain problems; it's just that demand for everything spiked way up in 2020 and it takes time to ramp up production to match
