      I’m sure those tariffs have some impact in the US, but ram prices are outrageously high outside the US as well. They’re not the real factor here.

        I’m pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.
