What happened to all the 2020 and 2021 cars and trucks seen on the internet, parked in storage lots that were built and waiting for chips?

Good question....probably crushed as obsolete and unsalable as new. Won't be long before "we the people" will be bailing the manufacturers out, again, so they can keep screwing us with our own money. Hey, that sounds a LOT like the gub'ment...

I am sure you have noticed that along with semiconductor production facilities, food production and chemical plants that happen to make fertilizer for planting crops keep catching fire all of the sudden. The result is skyrocketing prices for fertilizer. Simultaneously, the EU farm to fork regulations place draconian limits of fertilizer use on farms there which will have the effect of reducing crop yields.

I am sure it's all just confidential because despite the raw data that shows that these fires, and an overall constraint on key goods and services is REALLY happening-- any search engine result immediately tells you with link after link-- that it is not --and all this talk is just some wild conspiracy theory.

Its a transition. Relax I am sure its nothing.

There were thousands of them parked in farm fields east of Flint, Landing and around Detroit.
Apparently, mice got into many of them and ate the soy based wire coatings that have been in use for the past 20 years, so many were beyond repair and crushed.

Well at least someone got some use out of them.
