Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Apr 6 11:39:26 2020, in response to Long term political and economic impacts of the pandemic, posted by Easy on Sun Apr 5 13:27:15 2020. 2. People seem to always think of an ancient solution to a modern problem. Domestic production would never work.The United States had been a net importer of oil for decades, until recently. Despite this, the US managed to develop a strategic reserve of oil. There's no reason that strategic reserves can't be developed of other imported items. Not only that, but this pandemic does not call for the level of production that was needed during World War II. You don't need the same production capacity to produce ventilators and hand sanitizer as you do to make tanks and ships. But look for demagogues to use a crisis to support the dying domestic industries that fund their campaigns. |
