    Yep- no, it was like that before the AI bullshit too, the GPU demand increased from 2013 due to bitcoin miners until the offer couldn’t keep up anymore in 2017, the production caugh up the demand(and surpassed it too) in 2022/2023, but the prices after that were still higher than before the crisis because people would still buy the overpriced shit.

    Accept that, capitalism works like this

      Im not really arguing the cause, becuase it’s abundantly clear its greedy corpos making life impossible at this point, just that oil is a special case of how badly we are about to be fucked, and why it wouldn’t go back down after the strait opens even if there wasn’t greedy corporate pigs doing what they do.
