This is probably going to increase my wait for mine. I ordered it last October, and at the time, I was given an estimate that I'd probably have it around June.

Trump would have solved this supply chain problem in two weeks if he were President. Biden can't do shit.

At the start of the pandemic, car manufacturers incorrectly predicted that sales would drop, canceled chip orders leaving them unprepared to meet demand.

Trump's shutdown caused many people to buy new computers & networking equipment to work from home. They also turned to home entertainment during periods of self-isolation, which increased the demand for video game consoles.

Trump's massive money printing to devalue the US dollar caused an increase in cryptocurrency mining in that increased chip demand even more.

Trump's conflict with China had the US Department of Commerce impose restrictions on China's largest chip manufacturer, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), which made it harder for them to sell to companies with American ties.

Texas lack of weather prep shutdown production.

Of course he would have and you would be the only one to know how. You're such an intellectual mountain.
Do the authorities know how smart you are?

On the light side I ordered some ammo and got it a year later. Then the company had the balls to ask me to rate their service.
