During this whole thing, I have manintained that manufacturers were using the Covid and the "chip shortge" to be able to convince the consumer that there was a shortage of vehicles that created a demand that really was fake. Profits from automakers are at records while people are willing to pay full sticker (andf much more) just to get a vehicle. Now...it appears that one of the crutches, that being the "chip shortage" is really not the case. From an article this morning:

"GlobalFoundries Inc. shares fell Tuesday after the chip manufacturer's strong outlook was eclipsed by recent signs that the global chip shortage has flipped into a glut."

LOL.....imagine that. The consumer is being played like a cheap fiddle.
