Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Maybe not, but they are the ones undermining trust in the legislature. Fighting Prop 4 and the redistricting stuff every step of the way has been a seriously awful look for our elected officials in Utah.
Rep. Gricius defends the resolution and says "we're just letting an activist group make decisions" on the congressional map. She says it's the legislature's power to redistrict.

Doing the little hobbies, activities & side quests you love is so hard & so important, because they're *not* little, they're how you choose to delight in being alive, but Capitalism & its flunkeys continually tell us that Work is the only true & moral thing, & revokes food & shelter if we shirk it.

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.
