"Shortage" means exactly that. It doesn't mean "there's no GPUs at all." In a gasoline shortage, prices go up and there are lines at the pump, but there are still cars on the road.

The lines at the pump only happened because of rationing rules, which led people to hoard and buy gas when they otherwise wouldn't have.

If you are talking about Russia, hoarding or not, if you burn enough refineries, you will have shortages.

No, the OPEC crisis.

Sure. Rationing is a common response to shortage in general even though it isn't very effective.

If prices go up there aren't lines. You get lines when demand goes up and supply doesn't or supply goes down and demand doesn't follow. Either way the "fix" is either to raise prices or have lines.
