It can take time for supply to increase. Chip fabs can't be built instantly no matter how much money you're willing to throw it the problem, any more than babie

It can take time for supply to increase. Chip fabs can't be built instantly no matter how much money you're willing to throw it the problem, any more than babies can be made in five months if the mother really tries hard.

- dymk 5y agoI don’t understand. Are you saying there’s no shortage because _technically_ you can get whatever you want, given infinite cash? Is that particularly insightful? If it’s due to inflation, why did chip prices skyrocket a few orders of magnitude more than inflation?
- TedShiller 5y agoIt's a spectrum, not black and white. But "supply" is being used as an excuse to mask the much bigger problem: inflation. Everything is more expensive, and unless people are willing to pay more for it, they won't get it. A lot of people don't want you to understand that.
