Our fire department needs a new ambulance. There is a two year waiting list for one.

The ineptitude of the automotive industry in dragging its heels relying on outdated semiconductor manufacturing is just mind-boggling, but so is the lack of action by the administration to order prioritizing parts and vehicles for public safety, followed by cargo and mass passenger transportation.

People might start asking who John Galt is.

This never happened, because outdated makes no sense.

You want a part? People make a part. Older is easier to make too, has more test cycles, failure points mapped, etc.

Automakers are doing things right, by using tested parts. Production methods.

We absolutely don't need new as the primary priority, or iterative, we need stable first.
