I realise a lot of Americans fail to understand how difficult it is to set up manufacturing plants of various kinds for what was once imported goods; but microprocessors of all God damned things are the singular thing you should make an exception for importing.
That is not an industry that you can slap together with a few lathes and mills and dudes with “can do” attitudes. Those are billion dollar state of the art factories working on products on the microscopic level.
American made electronics are going to be powered by vacuum tubes at this rate and cost 5000x as much.
By props, do you mean irradiated husks and sheeple willing to live in vaults while praising their corporate overlords for allowing them to eat mayonnaise sandwiches while the rest of the world burns? Because... yea, their production costs are probably going to go down. Win! Gonna have to change the genre from dramedy to documentary, but other than that...
