## Resource

The global semiconductor shortage is still wreaking havoc, with demand far outpacing supply and impacting everything from cars to medical devices.

While governments race to build domestic chip capacity and innovate with new materials, the long-term fixes won’t ease immediate pain. This tiny chip crisis is a massive wake-up call for our hyper-connected world. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
