For individuals there really is only one reasonable course here. Ignore the sensational studies and news.

If capitalism can't even solve something this fucking simple what is even the point?
"The point" is that it's the best system we have, despite its problems.
The alternatives have, historically, led to mass starvation and bloody revolutions in relatively short order. This will predictably happen again if they are attempted, because they violate human nature too strongly.
Be that as it may, technological advancement has always been the game-changer. If anything stands any kind of chance at enabling humans to thrive, sustainably, under a communist system, it will be labor automation (including and especially AI).

Even if a miracle happens and apple out bribes The Big Three memory producers which is possible they have a fuck ton of money apple is just going to make sure they have supply. That's not necessarily going to help you or me. They will take advantage of the elevated RAM prices to raise the base price of their hardware to match everybody else who can't afford the spin up an entire ram production facility in China and then bribe the ever-loving shit out of the Trump administration to keep the tariffs off.
The problem you're having is you still think the economy is for you. It's not. Things have fundamentally changed. If you have less than a million dollars in your bank account as cash then you're going to get screwed. And even a million may not be enough.

This isn't a bubble. This is a fundamental shift in human technology. I think the problem is we're having a hard time wrapping our heads around that because new technology has always kind of been available for us and made for us. AI is not for you and it is not for me. It is for the capital owners who are sick and tired of having employees and customers. They want to replace everyone in the chain from the employee through to the customer with a machine that does whatever the fuck they want it to do.
Yeah they can't quite do that right now but they're going to keep trying and they're going to get closer to that ideal and they're going to spend unlimited amounts of money and water and electricity and RAM doing it because they have unlimited amounts of all of that because they took it from you when you gave it to them.

Try taking the referee and all the rules out of the NFL and let me know how much fun it is watching football. The same goes for basketball in the nba. The rules in sports games are remarkably complex at the professional level for just that purpose. There are for example half a dozen rules in basketball that exist because people got too tall and the game got boring The watch because it was just tall people quickly scoring dunks.

It does not take 5 years for someone who already works in the semiconductor industry to enter the market. China is already making viable and useful ram but it's going to of course stay in China. If nothing else the big three producers are Taiwanese and South Korean and they're going to block any attempt to let Chinese companies get a foothold in the rest of the world. If all else fails you'll see 600% tariffs.
The problem here is we are not properly regulating the economy.
You can only ignore politics for so long before it comes knocking at your door. This is a political issue not an economic one.

Of course the actual problem is capitalism is doing exactly what it does when it's not regulated. Nobody wants to enter the market because they know the big three can anytime they want drastically increase production within 6 months to a year and then run them out of business. Even if you wanted to enter the memory business no bank would loan you the money because they know you're just going to lose it all.
Capitalism needs a referee and US dumbasses fired the ref.

The entire point of buying Twitter was to turn it into a right-wing propaganda Network. It was already not profitable.
Fun fact you bought Twitter for Elon musk. He used investments from other companies to pay off the loans. Companies that are massively overvalued because they are looting your 401k.
Now would be a good time to pick out your favorite flavor of cat food for retirement and you should probably have a dry option as a backup.
