The real problem was the Just In Time(JIT) model manufacturers use. Or rather, their flawed implementations of it. Toyota was actually the company that created this model. It worked so well, everyone copied it. But they copied it badly. Or as the video puts it: Companies have “created a system that’s less effective and less resilient but can impress shareholders through short-term savings. How Toyota has effectively implemented this system fills books but many are just reading the covers.”

It works fine as long as everything else works fine. The problems come when there is a problem because there is no slack. Rather than the critical path jumping from one item/task to another, everything becomes critical.

Yet, re the quantum effect claim, in the real world, quantum tunneling has been known for well OVER two decades as an issue.
And in the real world, multi-core processors have been used to work around that issue for two decades, with IBM making the first one in 2001.

AND, in the real world, though Intel is having major problems with small process sizes, reflected in its low stock price, other competitors are doing FINE with much smaller processors.
Do you check at ALL before you make random and wildly incorrect posts?
For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_nm_process
...
And now you're going to blame Covid-19 on "the land is full"? And claim a big group of "plagues" with NO citations, like a 5 year old?
So what was to blame for the 1918 global flu pandemic? Your frequent BS?
And the black death in the 1300's?
...
Yeah, as usual, everything you say seems true.

The land being full I assume.
Companies like Zulu are focused on the biggest, wealthiest, and most congested ports like New York and Long Beach but the problem is truly global in nature. Turloch Mooney, associate director of maritime and trade at IHS Markit, told FT that many poorer ports are “sub-par” and failed to adapt to the new, larger ships, particularly in emerging markets such as Bangladesh and the Philippines, where there was chronic congestion even prior to the pandemic.
