"Shortage" means exactly that. It doesn't mean "there's no GPUs at all." In a gasoline shortage, prices go up and there are lines at the pump, but there are still cars on the road.

- StilesCrisis 3mo agoSure. Rationing is a common response to shortage in general even though it isn't very effective.
- fhdkweig 3mo agoIf you are talking about Russia, hoarding or not, if you burn enough refineries, you will have shortages.
