Or at any rate starting to catch up on the backlog from the past forty years.

If it resumes in 10-20 years that means it still has a long way to go (not to mention catching up for lost time!).

jsharf | karma 384 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2021-05-12 18:11:24+00:00

The alternative is waiting literally 10-20 years for anyone else to catch up.

Looking at those graphs, it does look like it's getting there for 15-44 years too, no?

Ten years? You guys should catch up in ten months.

It takes a while for the future to catch up to some people.

It might be 15 years overdue.

Most of this stuff is replaced within a calendar year and that will probably accelerate.

drallison | karma 3863 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2019-07-24 23:36:51+00:00

and, if past experience is correct, it will be 30 years away for the next two or three decades.

ajb | karma 6244 | avg karma 3.83 · | 2014-06-06 09:32:53

Wait another 40 years.

Sevaris | karma 308 | avg karma 4.0 · | 2022-01-03 20:50:25

It takes time to catch up. There's no reason they won't be able to though given enough time and money though.

My guess is that onshoring of manufacturing, and re-learning the lessons of always having a second source, will take about a decade to complete. We'll then start unlearning them again, like we always do, over the decades that follow.

OK, check back in 50 years.

vertexFarm | karma 431 | avg karma 1.32 · | 2018-05-07 02:05:25

We've already waited fifty years. It's starting to get sad.

rbanffy | karma 158565 | avg karma 2.97 · | 2022-08-02 19:06:43

How many years it'll take to back everything up?

zephjc | karma 1151 | avg karma 2.37 · | 2011-01-08 00:30:42

Well that's the first 30 of 50 years - in desperate need of an update, I think.

yung0 | karma 1 | avg karma 0.07 · | 2020-06-30 09:17:12+00:00

"at least some credibility in the world again."

Might have to go back about 80 years.

Yep, just need to give it another decade or so I suppose.

natrius | karma 8673 | avg karma 3.35 · | 2009-09-30 10:13:51

Maybe in 40 more years...

InfamousRece | karma 223 | avg karma 2.28 · | 2023-09-18 06:33:29

This will take at another decade at least.
