Windsor Is Back Up Next Week, Two Other Plants Will Go Idle:

Perhaps it’s political, but this shortage fully demonstrate the necessity of US industry to have control over their vital supplies. To outsource to foreign sources these vital industries weakens our nation and weakens our development and manufacturing know how, it costs Americans jobs. I am sure this outsourcing had an effect on the bottom line, but now we are seeing the actual residual result and the false economy in that policy. The real bottom line, it is a temporary savings and frankly, unpatriotic. Not good.
I agree, a cooperative venture by American industries to bring these assets back home is imperative, smart and the right thing to do.

You are right on Bill. I have predicted this calamity in the making for years. Wow, hundreds of thousands of lost sales due to lack of production! Across many corporations. It will be interesting and heart wrenching to see financial results for 2021.

Amen Bill! If we can build cars in America, then we can make what goes in them. The “Big 3” need to team up and make their own computer chip like they make seats and other things that go into cars. There is no excuse for this. When you depend on forigen goods, you are taking a big chance at them holding you hostage, like what’s going on now!!!
