With the semi-industry ever more critical to the world's economy and well-being, what are the largest threats to the semi-supply chain as far as materials, equipment, and talent? With the semi sector literally entwined with a larger and larger portion of literally everything we touch or interface with, the durability and flexibility of the semi industry are becoming more critical by the day. Everything is now deeply involved in this from materials, equipment, facilities, talent, and more than ever politics. What steps are companies and countries taking to mitigate this risk and is it even possible? With the increasing penetration of semis in literally everything, what steps are being taken, or is a collapse of the system probable based on a few key links being broken. Any thoughts and comments on this would be appreciated. What steps is the semi industry currently undertaking to keep this ever more fragile ecosystem functional? Thanks
