This is such an important issue and people don't even see it. Thank you for addressing it.

I work for GM and ive been laid off for 4 months due to the chip shortage. Thank you so much for the breakdown. You gave me more information than my employer on why im laid off lol

My company pre-ordered chips, now waiting on a 56 week lead time. 56 weeks just to start producing the products you love. It's mad, glad you covered it.

Intel investors were pressuring Intel to get out of the chip-fab business before this shortage. That didn't age well.

This video is a perfectly illustrates why TSMC is the most important tech company in the world. Not Apple, not Google, nor Amazon, Microsoft, etc. Most people in the US is unfamiliar with this, but they should be

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" seems to be being ignored.

From the same companies that brought you "Planned Obsolescence"... "Why are we running out of things when there is too much demand?"

[one_shot]

Iv been watching Cold Fusion for 6 years, and the quality of the videos is always amazing. So I'd just like to says thanks. ;)

Any good industrial engineer will tell you that efficiency is the enemy of resiliency.

This man's story telling skills are so good, we could send him to stall an alien invasion while we escape out the back door.

This whole situation is a case study for the butterfly effect. There are soo many things that caused this. I've seen another video where it was mentioned that the main port in the west of the US did have waay increased wait times for ships that arrive. Which increased the shipment time for products which lead to supply issues for things like tea bubbles. Weird stuff.
The pandemic was not the cause of all of this. It was the catalyst. The sudden shift in behaviour of the world population and the maximum efficiency but fragile nature of the world economy just made the perfect storm.

Oh dude wtf I thought Lay’s was having a hard time finding potatoes or something, now I can see how the chip shortage is actually a problem

[johnpick]

Our just in time supply chain is broken on so many levels. Thank you for this video.

[producerevan]

Before I watch. The one thing everyone needs to start understanding is, is that these companies did not "lose" money, they made less than either what was forecast or what was made the year prior. The whole idea of ever expanding companies is why we have the economical issues we have now all around the world. Oh yeah, dude, love your videos!!!

[willb]

Toyota stockpiled 4 months worth of chips, smart bastards. 😂

[vidhutripathi]

Moral of the story - Don't put all your eggs in one basket :)

Imagine if people just started using housephones again and sending each other letters in the mail

As someone who is directly involved in the industry. The shortage will not only last till the end of 2021 but already predicted to extend into first half of 2022. Lead-times from all major manufacturer on MCU are between 48-52 weeks.
