I was trying to explain what was happening to my old dad who has little interest in IT. He's a car guy so the best analogy I could come up with was to ask him imagine one the big car companies only producing vehicles to sell for motor sport and some others pre-selling a chunk their production to motor sport companies.

@raymierussell @fuzzygroup @digitalraven the problem of course is that Motorsport is a tiny fraction of car production irl but yes. One solid state drive manufacturer said that were sold out for this year back in November already. It's going to be a bad year.

@raymierussell @mikebabcock @fuzzygroup @digitalraven how about : making huge sculptures out of car tyres becomes a fashion fad and billionaires bought up all the world’s tyre production for the next year in order to build bigger and more ridiculous giant car tyre sculptures.
