It is not a crisis at this point, it is just a highway robbery.
Horrible corruption and greed...
If they get fined 1% of their profits yet again, they'll never learn.
i really like these "documentation" style videos.
If found liable, the punishment should be the revocation of patents. There needs to be true disincentive.
Micron, SK Hynix, & Samsung: *get fined for cartel behaviour* *years pass...* Micron, SK Hynix, & Samsung: I'm gonna fucking do it again
Unfortunately you need an AG and an administration willing to uphold the law, not be a part of the grift.
The entire board of directors for each of these companies needs a good 20 years in prison
They want to eliminate personal computing and move people to the cloud.
The speed at which Micron shut down Crucial after being open so long is VERY suspicious.
Drug cartels have better business practices than DRAM cartel...
No new PC for 10 years is going to be weird for me.
Just so you all know, this is an entirely controlled price increase. There is no shortage.
Start throwing these corrupt CEOs and boards in prison, and seize their assets
As a consumer, I gladly join the complaint against these 3 major cartels.
It's hard to find happiness in gaming when you feel like you're getting scammed on every single platform available...
One word missing from the title = The MANUFACTURED DRAM Crisis. A prime example as to why these companies need to be broken up on antitrust grounds.
Until very wealthy and responsible people violently die or are sentenced to decades in prison, things will not change. And that's an uncomfortable truth the world must face.
The whole corporate world is currupt
It feels like a coordinated effort to choke supplies.
