   I have huge hopes fox CXMT entering the market and at least offsetting this nightmare. Just this week i've paid ~$1k USD for 2x32G DDR5 ECC, insane.

      The greed and shortsightedness from both the memory makers and their big customers trying to lock out competitors from memory purchases is palpable. The first act of a Shakespearean or Greek Tragedy is where the characters take the actions that lock in the circumstances that precede their downfall. And this sets up everything for the next act where CXMT has everything it needs to establish itself on the market with buyers that would perhaps would not have considered it in other circumstances.

            So if capitalism resulted in higher prices that is causing consternation among small-scale buyers, what -ism is responsible for the investment in factories that increased supply of components that resulted in lower priced electronics for the past few decades?

            Was that also capital looking for returns?

                  Why is it bait? It's literally making the world worse were the gains only benefit an extremely small minority of people at the expense of everyone else.

               The samples from recent history seem to say that well regulated competitve markets are beneficial but ironically that socialism provides better competitive markets then capitalism.

               I would not cheer the AI tulip craze effect on memory as a benefit of capitalism as it has several obvious unchecked violations of well regulated markets.
