    Reading between the lines here, someone is fucking with the market on purpose. Drop the prices so low the competition goes out of business trying to keep up, then jack up the prices to make it all back multiple times over. Businesses don’t drop the price of products for no reason.

      Well no, but if you’re engaged in some drug-fueled (heh) 4d chess with the competition vying for the lowest price, a global disruption to the supply chain is going to play merry hell with whatever passes for well-laid plans in corporate management these days.
