In the home appliance industry, O'Donnell made note of smart refrigerator product delays and explained that smaller quantity products are "suffering more" comparatively. Self-described as a "ham radio nut," O'Donnell discussed one of his hobbies to explain how the sway of tech titans could impact smaller companies as industries compete for limited resources.

I had the opportunity to chat with a gent who works for Detroit Diesel last week. He stated that they were being pinched hard by the chip shortage.

Their current solution is to use the chips they can acquire, to build their highest profit pieces. School bus engines and the like were not on that list.
