It’s artificial because the components have been made scarce due to manufacturers choosing not to sell to consumers (or consumer products) any more, not because the components cost more to make or anything like that.
The cost of the component to be manufactured has almost never represented the price you pay for a good. A bag of peanuts costs fuck all to manufacture. It’s price is based mostly on what companies think you are willing to pay.
The point is that the inflation isn’t artificial:that parts real
It’s the demand that’s artificial, at least allegedly.
I guess uh… how so is it artificial? Like, the inflation of the price is real. You do have to pay more now than a year or two ago.

Semantics. There is an artificial element in the process that results in them costing more than they did previously.
So because you’ve decided to use them wrong, words no longer have meaning. Got it.
It’s really not difficult to understand what I mean. You’re being deliberately obtuse.
