    > The DRAM and NAND flash manufacturers at fault for the ongoing RAM, SSD, and GPU price increases

    Yes, it's the manufacturers fault, not the unbelievable market demand.

    We are all Capitalists, until the Market comes after the stuff we love.

      >We are all Capitalists

      1/ speak for yourself

      2/ where is your capital and your means of production? Your machines? Your factories? Your raw materials, your tools? How long do you survive tomorrow when you quit your job and you have no other income?

      You're not a capitalist. You're just a consumer for them to suck dry. The faster you learn it, the better off you will be.

        You are right. People are misusing "capitalist" to mean someone who favours a capitalist system, where as it actually means someone who posses capital; someone whose relies on possession of assets rather than earned income.
