Chips Are Down

Potato chips are yummy, but we can easily live without them.  Ditto on those made from corn.

Computer chips are a whole other ball game.  Our society has depended more and more upon that which is now in short supply.  Is there hope on the horizon?  Perhaps, if you’re willing to wait for months or years.

With supply down and demand up, a quick fix seems unlikely.  Early on in the pandemic, companies were hesitant to greatly increase production.  After all, who knew how long it would last?  And who even knows now?  Perhaps an increased emphasis upon simplicity is in order.
