Question PS5/XBOX and gpu shortages

Whats the deal? Seems kind of suspicious to me even with the "pandemic" going on. Scalpers making millions somehow buying up a huge percentage of the available product the second it drops. It all just seems very weird and bizarre to me. PS5 dropped in November last year and still cant find one anywhere. I read any article about how the president is going to launch an investigation soon into the shortages to find out what is going on. Any thoughts?

There's a semiconductor shortage going on. It's affecting virtually every industry that relies on electronic components.

Why is there a semiconductor shortage? There's a pandemic going on, one big plant in Japan had a fire, stuff made by certain manufacturers has been banned due to security concerns, orders decreased substantially as some nations went into lockdown and the economy stagnated and now as that lifts everyone wants them again, and production capacity is reduced due to the aforementioned reasons.

President Biden would be a hero if he cracked down on that and get many gaymrrs much more comfortable with regulat'n the murikets.

Anyway they probably got devoured by cryptokiddies and the secret corporate lab funded by the Murderochs which is designing both the Karenaisha virus and the squidi MRNA vax which will make people want to stay indoors and game more while eating sustainable reclaimed carbon farmed protiens.

Do you think Biden was the best democratic candidate that could have won the primary? I'm curious who you think woulda been best.

If you ran, what would your platform be? What is the most important thing a president could do today? And maybe how?

OP, basically the worlds economy, the worlds industry, international relations between nations, and our global trade infrastructure is crumbling to dust and nobody is admitting it.
