Isn't this part of the problem of having cheap money to go around?
I've got anecdotal feedback last year from some friends in different industries (mainly construction), complaining that "The americans are hoarding everything...", he said this after complaining they were buying concrete in the secondary market.
Like, when Apple buys full production of 3nm at TSMC[0] - isn't this in a sense anti-competitive practice?
They have access to unlimited money, it's like you have a cheat in the real world. The end game is that money starts to lose it's value, like it's happening now.
I hate to use this term, but maybe the WTC or some entity should start to think that the idea of "quotas" maybe ain't that bad in a globalized world that has countries printing money like crazy. They completely fuck up entire supply chains out of greed and fear.
Then those "quotas" could be sold around, but at first no one should be harmed due to some crazy practices.

- wbsss4412 5y agoApple buying full production of TSMC’s 3 nm node represents real product demand, though. It’s one thing I’d you’re buying up capacity that you can’t utilize, but it’s another when you simply are that big of a buyer.
- ryan93 5y agoAre you really suggesting a world government? Your comment should almost be treated as spam.
- epgui 5y agoThat’s not what they’re suggesting, and even if it was, you’re probably wrong about how clearly-bad that would be.

- libertine 5y agoI don't get where you got this from, you have global organizations without world governments, to supervise global rules - like the WTO, World Trade Organization (I made a typo called it WTC, should be WTO). >The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.[0] [0]https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/thewto_e.htm https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/thewto_e.htm You might consider that these organizations are bad, you're entitled to an opinion. No need for drama.
