A Collier problem occurs whenever a new technology requires the technology it nominally replaces to function due to efficiency limits. Steam ships replaced sailing ships, but without windjammers the steamships could not function. This led to worldwide exports, paradoxically with large sailing vessels often transporting the coal needed by steamships, as they were more economical to operate on long oceanic sea routes.

Don't bother watching the whole thing because exposing yourself to Trumpian logic just destroys braincells. Just remember the final punchline because I think it's the birth of an expression that sadly will see a lot of use in the future:
"We dodged a bullet, but the monkey still has a gun"
