It blows my mind that these companies can get away with manufacturing artificial scarcity, as an alternate means to price gouge.
The old question: still a cartel or already a monopoly?
If a single company can unilaterally dictate the price of a thing simply because they control a big enough piece of the market… yeah. That’s a monopoly.
A tale as old as time, one day it will be dirt cheap again
