So I mention to my next younger brother that Americans should pay attention that the former “Arsenal of Democracy” cannot even quickly ramp up production of 155 artillery shells, and he replies
“everyone should be more worried that we cannot produce even 10% of air, oil, fuel and hydraulic oil filters needed here.”

I mention the subject to my youngest brother, who works as the chief USA troubleshooter for an Italian owned, German factory built, precision pump company that sells worldwide, and he replies:
“The parts situation is actually ten times worse in Europe, and you would not believe the daily #&@! part delays due to who should pay the import duties.”

I mention the subject to my older sister’s family where there are four MD’s and Nurse Practitioners, and she replies “At least half of all medicines, especially the inexpensive ones, are either under rationed supply or unavailable.”
