The modern world depends on a handful of engineers (maybe even on just one guy) who works for Zeiss in Germany and can make the mirrors for the EUV lithography machines that a handful of engineers (maybe just one guy) at ASML in Holland make. None of the “highly skilled” employed in tech jobs are necessary if TSMC can’t make the chips and there’s probably only a handful of engineers at TSMC who are the key points of failure. Intelligence is plummeting across the developed world and it wasn’t much above room temperature anywhere else anyway.
It’s clear a population crash is imminent. So-called civilization is held together with baler twine and electrical tape. The bloviating of the WEF Nazis about technology fixing things is pie in the sky. The WEF are the equivalent of Nero fiddling while Rome burns they’re all mad as hatters. As for mad, walk into a Walmart and look around then tell me genpop aren’t escapees from the insane asylum dazed and confused by the medication and mind control.
We were privileged to see the world at the height of human progress. Hang on to your tinfoil hats it’s a bumpy ride all the way down from here.
