I have never seen anything like this in manufacturing. Steel prices are double if you can find it at all. Plastic molders are operating under force majeure due to TX weather a few months back. Electronic assembly parts are in short supply and some, such as STM32 processors are almost impossible to find (such as variant for brushless controllers). One wire forming vendor we have worked with for over 20yrs cancelled our POs and said they can't even discuss when they might be able to work with us again because they don't have labour or raw materials.
The damage being done in manufacturing right now dwarfs anything from last year.
