> All of them are having shortages and it has nothing to do with randomware But also it's relatively unlikely that any of them have anything to do with the US stimulus. We import most of our chips. I'm not even saying that shipping/factory shutdowns are the sole cause of inflation right now. But it's really overconfident to say that the stimulus is the cause of all of those increases, I think that's pretty unlikely to be the largest cause. It's just a pretty large oversimplification -- do people seriously believe that if a stimulus hadn't happened that shipping costs would have gone down during a pandemic?
