Had a headscratch moment after watching a video on another aspect of how plastics and our hobby are affected. You can’t run precision engineered machines without computers. Computers need chips. Chips require highly specific production environments. Those labs demand helium (as byproduct of LNG production). The Gulf States aren’t exactly doing business as usual I hear.

Sheets for resin printers and control boards will be affected and there’s probably some effect on filament production too. Tiny fighting men producers just got sidelined to more important computer demand.
