My Dad works in fabrication. He told me yesterday that a spool of copper wire doubled from about $100 to $210. And things are not looking so hot in other areas either.

That's fucking nuts. I've heard remodeling/renovation supplies are becoming almost impossible to get your hands on.

Due to the chip shortage, 2 really important technology businesses in my area have regular breaks. Some of my friends ended up getting paid half of what they usually earn for a few weeks due to this.

I didn't think of the tech centers or businesses being effected by the chip shortage. It makes sense that they would be under equipped.
