The other side of FOMO is appearing as the US transitions to a shortage economy, like the former Soviet Union. It used to be that if something was popular, more of it would be made, and then the price would go down. Now, if something is popular, the seller is likely to restrict the supply to push the price and margins up. Buy now, while you still can.

Cars. Houses. AWS S3 space. Meta's VR headgear. Meat. Most of the toiletries and drugs CVS and Walgreens sell.
