eth is choking rigth now?

did something happen?all of a sudden usual gas prices are up from 2 or 3 to 6 to 15 and now its at 75,90.....

and there seems to be like a pile up/car accident domino effect on blockchain tech, something gets stuck the whole traffic starts piling up and people gets frustrated and starts pushing up their gas offerings, and the network notices a jam also starts pushing up prices and ends up prices snowball out of control?

lord in the age where personal internet speeds range in the gigabytes and server bandwidth in the teraflops......i cant believe the blockchain technology is predicated on such crippling flaws and archilles heels.
