This isn't news. This is history. I'm guessing Tyler Durden isn't a computer buff.ZeroHedge

No. This is Tyler saying there is massive price increases coming down the line. The inflation from all the money printing and supply chain interruptions due to lock downs is beginning to make itself felt. What is coming will make what's happened up to now seem small in comparison.
As someone who's in the middle of trying to build a new gaming PC, I've been aware of this for a few months now.
Heck, it's so bad that even the automobile industry is being affected, and soon the mobile phone industry will be too.

Apparently you think that supply and demand work in a vacuum.
Of course they don't. But there isn't anything nefarious about what is happening with semiconductors today. Just errors in projecting needs, along with (recently) some plant failures.
Lockdowns have very little to do with it.
Mining has become huge again and that is slamming everything excepts SSDs which you can get for a song. That and the Xbox and Playstation launches haven't helped. Car manufacturers are having problems because they were stupid and never bothered to invest in chip manufacture -they stopped their orders during lull in car sales and now they are at the back of the line.
No one said there was something nefarious going on.
Never thought I'd be posting an LTT vid on TOL...
Really? Look at manufacturing shortages throughout multiple industries and tell me lockdowns had nothing to do with it.

This quote is a direct quote from ISM. I copied it from ZeroHedge. Go to the link in the ZeroHedge article and you'll find this same quote on the ISM website. ISM is the Institute for Supply Management. Notice that the coronavirus caused problems are the cause of most of the shortages.
As usual you are demonstrating your reading comprehension problems.
Yeah, that's just me saying this. No one else. The computer and electronics industry doesn't know what's going on inside its own industry. They don't have a clue. Only you and Hiltrot know what's happening inside that industry. Yeah, I mean who could ever think that lock downs would have anything to do with lack of available people to work in those suppliers. ****rolls eyes****
I happen to work in the semiconductor industry.
You know what? I don't believe you. You have lied so often here you have zero credibility with me.
Fine. As you like. I'm on the technical side in that industry.
Tell me: how many lockdowns have there been in Taiwan?
I recommend you watch the video above that I posted. Currently, the issue isn't a "lack of supply," it's "extremely high demand."
The lockdowns have had a huge effect on the electronics industry, but I recommend you watch the video above that I posted. Currently, the issue isn't a "lack of supply," it's "extremely high demand."
It's high demand, along with poor projections (in the case of the automobile industry).
If you want to see where lockdowns have really hurt- look to the tourist industry, hotels, restaurants and the like.
When you're told our economies have come back to 95% of what they were pre-coronavirus accepting the assertion without evidence is nothing more than being a sheeple.
Our banking system is on the verge of a collapse. The Fed has been pouring money into it since September 2019 to keep it from collapsing completely. Is that a healthy economy? Filing for new unemployment claims has only been below 3/4 of a million new applicants weekly for 10 weeks since the week of 3/21/2020, and then it was still above 700,000 per week. Is that a healthy economy? Looks to me like economic destruction is still going full bore. And remember, that anyone who has gone 27 weeks on unemployment no longer counts as being unemployed. The government doesn't count them beginning the 28th week. They are not people as far as the government is concerned.

Back in 1994 the government stopped counting long term unemployed people in the unemployment reports. For those of you who were working back then and remember those days here's a chart that uses the pre-1994 algorithm for computing the unemployment rate today. It's above 25%.

Our published public debt is now at almost 140% of our GDP. That's similar to, but greater than, our debt to gdp ratio after WWII, but now we have a government busy destroying jobs and businesses rather than what happened after WWII when job and wage growth exploded. Then we lowered our debt ratio using two factors: increasing GDP and paying down debt. Now we are still increasing it destroying businesses. Hello, Greece, here we come.

All the numbers say our economy is nothing like it used to be so when someone says some anonymous individuals say our economy is almost back to where it was you better take a look at the numbers. Our government does nothing but lie to us and they use a lot of different sources to spread the lies.
