It isn't quite the same thing. GPU prices are driven up because there aren't enough GPUs to meet the demand at MSRP prices. Which is both because demand has gone up due to crypto mining and supply went down because of the pandemic.
I don't think the railroad industry is having a hard time finding workers because there aren't enough unemployed people to hire, there are plenty of those. It sounds like demand is less than it was a year ago, and the supply of workers who aren't currently employed is probably higher. So something else is going on. Possibly, they've driven away peoeple with the skills they want with low pay and poor working conditions, not to mention laying off a bunch of them. And they aren't offering enough to attract new workers, especially if they aren't willing to train workers entering the industry.
- bigmattystyles 5y agoWhat I don’t understand is my the M in MSRP aren’t the ones raising prices as demand increases. Why let scalpers profit? Is it just business pipeline / contract issues?
- thayne 5y agoPossibly it has to do with reputation. If the GPU makers dramatically raised prices it would probably upset customers, and could hurt sales in the future, when there is more supply.
