Resistors!? Unless they were particularly specialized ones, the first THT resistor I picked on digikey had about 1.5 million in stock (and Digikey is profoundly not a particularly big-boy market)

The lead times are absolutely horrific though. And I do worry that fast PC parts (specifically GPUs) may be this price for a while.

The inventory people were not allowed to buy more inventory until the monthly buying time came around again. It was not an external issue, it was entirely internal.

"monthly buying time" sounds like a very... interesting... interpretation of just-in-time supply chains.
