it sucks for the normal person who is smart enough to not pay mark up but there's nothing we can do until supply frees up

Yep, this is capitalism at work. If supply does not equal demand then prices move accordingly. We need to remember that the S in MSRP is suggested otherwise it would just be MRP.
One other note, the people that complain about dealer markup should also be complaining about dealer discounts if they really think everything should be sold at MSRP. Otherwise they are just asking for price protection.
