People give the Soviet Union a lot of shit for their 5 year plans that never seem to fully pan out. But no one gives a fuck about Elon Musk's predictions.

Similar to how the Ford Pinto is still a joke in the auto industry even though Teslas are much, MUCH more fire/explosion prone than a junk car from the 1970s and have killed far more people. The death rate of Pintos vs. other cars of the period was not as different as some people think, but the death rate of Teslas? That is higher.

Fully agree!

But IMO regardless there is going to be major global food supply chain interruptions, as industries that take years to decades to mature disappear faster than they can be re-established.

In my region we have had entire fruit crops destroyed by cold snaps following an unseasonably warm winter. Meaning there was multiple year gaps in output from an entire region.
