I wonder if video card prices will drop and availability will increase.

I thought this is the greatest economy ever?…

To be honest, I still don’t understand how stocks are so high…real estate as well.
I think a massive economic downturn is coming, but I have zero track record…

Put simply, where there was once a chip shortage there is now a glut.

I'm calling a strong BS on this one. It is almost impossible to find microcontroller ICs at any of the usual places. Some are estimated to arrive in small numbers in December 2024.

Does this mean cheap car prices are just around the corner?

I mean, we saw several news stories about acre upon acre of otherwise finished cars just waiting for chips when there was a new car shortage and prices were high.

So now we got chips. So all those new cars should hit the market at once.

They’ll be giving F150s away... (LOL).
