That's one way of saying you have a demand shortage.

There's a shortage

What's a shortage?

throwaway88483 | karma 15 | avg karma 3.0 · | 2020-03-03 21:19:45+00:00

It’s possibly about to be a demand shortage soon as well.

acjohnson55 | karma 12095 | avg karma 3.47 · | 2016-07-12 13:20:30+00:00

To be fair, that is literally what a shortage is, economically speaking.

f1yght | karma 114 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2023-07-07 11:49:33

So... there isn't enough supply to match the demand growth.

dhenneberger | karma 5 | avg karma 0.83 · | 2021-09-07 15:54:20

It's a demand shock.

A.k.a. a shortage

donnie12345 | karma 170 | avg karma 0.69 · | 2023-09-01 07:26:39

So the shortage is real?

dfilppi | karma -14 | avg karma -0.06 · | 2020-12-08 22:40:12+00:00

That's a sign of excess supply vs demand

exolymph | karma 14357 | avg karma 3.88 · | 2018-02-22 07:11:13+00:00

That's a problem with more demand than supply, fundamentally.

dalbasal | karma 15338 | avg karma 4.54 · | 2017-07-30 22:03:52

That's a supply problem.

"Shortage" means that even if you payed absurdly high prices you will not get any/not enough, though you would immediately be willing to pay that price.

jdotjdot | karma 335 | avg karma 1.75 · | 2013-05-06 05:20:39+00:00

You're just proving the point that there's a huge shortage.

im3w1l | karma 8737 | avg karma 1.51 · | 2024-05-24 22:35:59

There is a global shortage.

scrollaway | karma 28520 | avg karma 4.25 · | 2020-09-14 19:05:31+00:00

You're describing demand.

hirundo | karma 15000 | avg karma 5.24 · | 2021-05-23 15:30:42+00:00

"Shortage" is a synonym for "costs more than I'd like to pay for it".

skylan_q | karma 1448 | avg karma 1.98 · | 2013-08-31 11:02:39

I don't understand what a "shortage" entails.

pcvarmint | karma 926 | avg karma 2.74 · | 2020-01-29 21:34:39+00:00

Expect shortages to occur during periods of high demand.

SilasX | karma 17521 | avg karma 2.12 · | 2018-11-08 21:06:43+00:00

That sounds more like a surplus than a shortage.
