im a lab manager, bio research, some of our plastics i havent been able to get since february, and even then, some of the stuff we need on a daily basis, serological pipets, "petri dishes", is not available until late september. Plus, Corning is on some "you'll get it when you get it" status.
I have no idea how hospitals and diagonistics is going to operate. I do know they do different stuff like buy out lot #s and have the company ship them later, but I think we might have to pause our research again. even the campus' lab supply is facing the same shortages.

I paid out of the ass for NOR containers a couple of months ago and now I can’t even find those at any price that doesn’t fukk us up. The backlog is getting bad enough to where we’re considering flying the shyt over.

This is the perfect time to get a job if you’re still in one of the states still doing the $300 UI boost.

Personally the powers that be just want to get richer so we all have to suffer

Supply chain probably fukked rest of this year to some extent. Prices may never come down unless demand collapses and there is massive deflation.

Yeah there have been a lot of Cassandra's regarding JIT but now it seems the chickens are home to roost people will hopefully start paying attention.

Yeah I had a random order with Corning for PCR strips months ago. That shyt never arrived LOL. They probably lost our PO.
I guess thats why Nvidia wants 1100 for a gpu

Yeah, also were these the same GPUs the crypto miners were using?
Yep, its like to massive storms hitting one point at the same time.
Crypto-mining made it annoying but from what you described with this global supply chain shortage, it made it 10x worse.
Chipsets for gpus are running 2x-3x the pre-2020 market value

Breh we just bought a house that needs renovations and I feel like we picked the WORST time to do this shyt. Housing prices are at record highs and home improvement prices high af too.
And with regard to my day job, the semiconductor shortage is fukking us over.

To be fair... that’s the way it should be. I spent my first 6 years as a manufacturing engineer at an auto plant. It’s good practice to be lean and manage your processes so you don’t have a lot of parts sitting idle. But you know this already.
Nobody could’ve predicted a pandemic and companies had to decrease orders when the demand wasn’t there.
