Fascinating look inside the many moving parts of global commerce. Great reporting!
John Rowe is a visionary leader, true gentleman, and all-around good guy.
Great story. This type of story is why I read Eight@8.
The car manufacturers and others who thought just in time, of buying from suppliers, just got caught with their pants down. Hopefully this big buyer, do exactly what we say type idea, will change. The chip manufacturing will take awhile to catch up, especially when EVs take a lot more chips in one vehicle. It will take a big plan, big effort to build up supplies in this country again.
