So just like they raised prices & blamed it on "supply chain issues" and took record profits?

Given the expected wave of layoffs from AI, it would be good if blue states like California extended preferential sourcing programs from nonprofits to locally owned cooperatives. I can imagine a lot of good engineers would be motivated to work for cooperatives to provide alternatives to big tech.
