In addition, the inner-city schools need to give out free 4G/LTE mobile hotspots to all of the kids who don't have high-speed broadband at home. I haven't checked recently, but those were nearly unobtanium back in July.

Feel free to read the available supply of Chromebooks for yourself, straight from this vendor's web site who is one of the larger sources for government/educational equipment:

As you can see, every option is on perpetual backorder or 4-6 weeks out.....
I do IT sales into some of the Fed agencies. They've been experiencing the same back order issue everyone else has.
