    The plan is to continue making bank until the companies are done with them, then sell to consumers again without missing a beat.

      That’s my point though they can’t do that.

      The market isn’t just going to wait around for them to get around to selling to consumers again. China is going to see an opening and they’re going to manufacture their own chips and make bank. Then when the traditional manufacturer is getting their head out of their arses then realise there market share has vanished. All 100% their fault.

      They have decided to shoot themselves in the foot because someone’s convinced them they won’t ever need legs ever again.
