That's a lot of vehicles.
Normally this is parking for University of Louisville's 65,000 seat Cardinal Stadium, but these vehicles aren't here for sportsball.
They're here for chips! Semiconductor chips that is, Louisville has two Ford plants and the shortage in chips has led to parking lots around town filling up with brand new vehicles without warning. Henry Ford is turning in his grave.
I think one tried to escape. Ford's supply chain isn't in much better shape from the looks of it. Kind of makes you wonder what else is one shortage away from screeching to a halt.
We can make'em but we can't make'em work. Seems the Gods of GDP have a cruel sense of humor.
Last train to nowhere! I happened upon a quote by Carl Sagan yesterday that I couldn't get out of my head as I was shooting these today, so I will leave you with that.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness..." --- Carl Sagan (1995)
