Trump got his ass kicked today.

[CO. Hoosier]

By march of this year, there were 36 bil in federal subsidies that were granted under the CHIPS act. Samsung, Intel, Micron and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. TSMC already committed to building 3 plants in Arizona. The minute Trump got into office he set about trying to demolish the Act and replace the incentives with tariffs. Hmmm. It may not be the perfect act, but without, there would not have been another fabrication facility built in America

I think 2 of the 3, and maybe all 3 of the TSMC Arizona plants predated the CHIPS Act.

My wife called it stupid. But likes blazing saddles. I’m left confused.

Did you tell her that she is stupid?

 

[mrhighlife]

I’ve never seen it

Smoke a gigantic doobie and watch Super Troopers. Comedy gold.

 

[larsIU]

Did you tell her that she is stupid?

Of course.

 

[BCCHoosier]

Of course.

Your stupid you muttered under your breath when safely out in the garage. 😂

 

[Baller23Boogie]

Of course.

Which non adjacent room were you and her in?

 

[larsIU]

Your stupid you muttered under your breath when safely out in the garage. 😂

Yes. I didn’t say when I said it was stupid. I’m no dummy

Just cuz she couldn’t hear it doesn’t mean I wasn’t talking to her

 

[This Is Keanu Reeves]

Do I a smell a man crush from you on Swayze and Reeves? It's okay to have those feelings.

Hi

 

[larsIU]

Which non adjacent room were you and her in?

Garage. Duh. Hell in the car in the garage. I want to live Boogie.

Hi

While you're here, would you please apologize for the last three Matrix movies. TIA.

I apologize for nothing, and now I am casting a spell on your mind. SHNAAANANNNAAAAAAANANANAAAA.

He made up for it with the John Wick series. Masterpieces, all.

Definition of a rewatchable.

Charles Grodin was genius in that one. The stories of the casting combos they tried before they settled for DeNiro and Grodin are legend.

Now that is a great movie

But some reality & perspective:

The US imports approximately $100 billion of computers, smartphones, and chip-making equipment from China PER YEAR.

A total of $439 billion of goods were imported from China into the US in 2024. This means ~23% of ALL Chinese imports coming to the US are now exempt from "reciprocal tariffs".

This massive U-turn in tariff policy.


I never read the book, but is this what they meant by The Art of the Deal?

And what's happened to the reshoring of jobs then?

Sucks because who knows what kind of big brother they’re implanting in our electronic equipment?

You’re an idiot. This is a negotiation. You give and you take. I’d say Wall St liked these steps today. There’s a plan… you run the play and adjust as needed. I think many others understand what he’s doing, and they will get in line to make a deal. Just watch….

Hahahahahahahaha!

Maga101.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

That’s a terrible analogy. It’s like the barber starting to give you a faux hawk and then realizing you wanted a fade and correcting course.

No lasting damage has been done as of yet, although there has been a lot of doomcasting.

Such a good sheep

Baaaaaa

Sorry young lady, I don't usually pay attention to your posts. It caught my eye because it looked like a 7 year old got ahold of your log in and posted.
