The current state of civilizations decline confirms to me that analog tech is 
superior to all the whizbang computer gimcracks.  Witness the TX debacle.  A 
home with a wood burning fireplace, and other “old fashion” resources would 
have been an adventure, but not the catastrophic event that engulfed the 
populace.

I'd guess them to have the same if not fewer microprocessors due to the
lack of engine/emissions management functions.

Wonder how that impacts their plans to go to all EVs? I'd guess EVs have
even more microprocessors than conventional cars, with all the regen and
battery management.

The W123 300D is looking better and better.

> UBI?

Without getting political, UBI is universal basic income. A check from the 
government for being alive. Much like the government subsidies of yore to 
farmers, not to plant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income

> MMT?

Modern Monetary Theory.
(Warning, potentially political content in this explanation.)

(Best explanation)

(Most convoluted explanation)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Monetary_Theory

My take.
Government money creation from thin air, backed by nothing save hope and faith.

For an ancient Frenchman's take, read Bastiat.

I just saw where the Volvo plant in the region here is shutting down 
production because they can't get microprocessors.  I'm not sure what 
that's about, I need to read up on it

With the market influx of what may end up being UBI, I suspect it with be gone 
shortly. The prices of a lot of things have started to go up, some quite sharp 
increases in price are noted in lumber, for instance. If you have a need or 
burning desire for something, and the price is right, do not hesitate to make 
the purchase. New cars and trucks are in short supply, pushing the asking price 
of used cars and trucks up.
