I spotted this sign at Costco last month.

For the most part, I don’t focus at all on the supply chain of the products I purchase. I mean, outside of the one company that prominently indicates that its products are designed in California and made in China. Other than that, I usually do not obsess.

Anyways, the recent flooding in Thailand has made me aware that hard drives are manufactured in Thailand. And, when a natural disaster strikes in some country on the other side of the globe, the effects can touch us here.
