The AI boom is so huge it’s causing shortages everywhere else The $700 billion AI spending spree has few precedents. Good luck finding an electrician or a reasonably priced smartphone. (archive.is)

The closest you can get to that is if you vacation in Vietnam. One Euro is about 30,000 Vietnamese đồng. Yeah, it's really called like that. Buy a Coca Cola with a 100,000 bill, pull a few million out of the ATM.
