So I guess some Americans do think the U.S is just a single isolated bubble in the world

Is this also your take on the car shortage? The fact people are paying 40% higher prices on used cars?

Is your official response to that - Hey, theres a chip shortage in Asia, but who cares? you're in charge! start making the cars without the chips!! start making chips at home!! vroom vroom!!



People blame the UK government for the fact that the same thing is happening here, and we're a lot smaller and more tightly connected to other countries than the US is. Of course people in the US are going to think their government is to blame and dismiss what's happening in the rest of the world; the US is big enough that people can easily just never leave it, and it's a lot more realistic for them to be self-sufficient.


> start making chips at home!!

This is what every country should do. Reduces interdependency and foments high tech industry.
