It is not the only factor causing shortages, either. Even US suppliers are running way behind.

Fires in Japan cause Malaysia made parts to run out in the entire world!? Old enough to know the gas shortages of the ’70’s? Gas prices doubled and never went back down…only up from there. Oddly enough, they stayed at around $2.00 per gallon for 4 years…must have been a fluke. I have 2500 pcs. IRF20957’s and 2200 pcs. IRF2844 IC’s that we use in our American Made amplifiers right here in Jupiter, Florida. Need to add this angle to your article Amy as this is the real value of made in the USA. Now, if I could only find labor to help me build…interesting times for sure!
