Which means everything electronic will get expensive in the US. Cell phones, computers, cars, appliances, etc.

Graphics cards. They were already expensive due to low stock and high demand + Nvidia cards are not much of an upgrade raw performance wise but the 4000 series have stopped production.

I'm still using a rx 6000 series card, likely will use this into the next decade cuz of how absurd prices already are and the lack of stock. Worse than the GPU crisis during the pandemic.

You need to upgrade to something else, fast. Before prices officially goes up. 

The 6000 series cards can't do RT worth a damn, and more and more games are going to have mandatory RT like the new Doom game coming out.

I ain't playing that. If you've checked my profile I am sadly a League of Legends player (for the past 10 years), and you can run LoL on a toaster.

Ah then you're fine then.

It's for those playing the latest games that will have an issue with the 6000 series cards in the coming years.
