Well that’s on you. The chip supply and demand problem was being discussed right here on FR in the early 2010s. It was real. One of the first places the problem hit was high end GPUs, starting about 2015 getting those was a nightmare, and is still rough.

All cars were running into chip problems.

Things have mostly mellowed out, but when normal demand is 100% of supply, and then supply runs into an issue demand stacks and supply has no “beef up” to meet it with.

PLENTY of CEOs have been attempting to solve the problem. But chip factories take time to build. And the rate at which the tech changes existing factories have to be redone constantly. And, like I already said, and you studiously ignored, demand KEPT RISING.

It’s reality. It’s been reality for over a decade. Stick your fingers in your ears and pretend it ain’t so if you must. But that just makes you a person that has decided to be ignorant.

You addressed none of my points, Stu. This ain’t the Ivy leagues partner, you need to come to the table with something.

But I get it... you go to war with what you got. And Stu, once again you just aren’t packing the gear.

And there you go with the insults again, you’re quick to go there. But at least you’re not on the asses again. I thought you were channeling my little aspiring proctologist buddy from Berlin.

Hmm... haven’t talked to him for a while, hope he’s ok.
