you'd think that such multi-year shortage of a product would be used as an opportunity by other players to jump in and make great money. Yet that major machinery of capitalism is failing here.
- Applejinx 2y agoImplies that 'that major machinery of capitalism' is an assumption. If it doesn't happen even under optimal conditions, you've learned something about the assumptions you've been taught as axioms.
- TrapLord_Rhodo 2y agowell.. capitalism is still what made them happen, so we can still have that as an assumption. I think the real takeaway here is the right conditions within companies can lead to breakthroughs. If a company employs the smartest engineers and gets them to work 12 hours days, it's obvious that they are going to take the lead.
