Before Biden, there was no video card scalping. There was no IC chip shortage. There were no ridiculous gas prices.

Vote Democrat. Pfft.

Well I bought my RTX 2070 in April 2020 at MSRP. No looking hard to find it.
But after that... holy schnikies.

I bought a PS5 MSRP when it was released therefore there was never a PS5 shortage.

As for IC chip shortages, that's been a problem for quite a few years. Hell, my employer was a year behind schedule on refresh for company-issued laptops in 2020, and shortages have spread to many markets (network hardware, AV receivers, smart home equipment). This isn't an "after Biden" thing.

LOL

Camelcamelcamel lol.

Somehow you also found the only low volume card being resold on amazon to make your point, whereas every other gfx card is closer to retail.
