In fairness, it’d have theoretically been possible to predict the 2025 AI boom and start construction on new factories back in 2021, and prediction is one aspect of what an economy does.

I mean, I didn’t see it, or I’d have bought memory maker stock and/or memory. :-)

The memory makers got blindsided, as did most of the industry. I don’t think that a command economy would have done better, mind.
