Equivocation. Gp means lack of specific consumer goods, for a set time.

Your comment makes it seem like this would lead to catastrophe or collapse.

It would more likely lead to industry rotation and employment change.

Yes, you can reduce any macro factor to a death count, but those are always trading off in all directions. It's meaningless to categorically single out a particular scenario of swapping production as more deadly than the others.

It would take a generation to build an electronics industry equivalent to shenzhen, and would require state involvement/investment that we're not capable of.

I'd like to regain industrial capacity too but we're missing an entire population base of expertise and relationships.
