Gosh Tim. How is that million dollar personal contribution ~~directly into Trump’s pocket~~ to Trump’s inauguration fund working out for you?
And they’re not even trying to create American jobs with this crap. The CHIPS Act is paired with a “chipmaker’s visa,” which intends to import cheap labor from Taiwan to work the US chip factories.
Trump still loves H1B slaves like all billionaires so it's fine
Wait until his voters see their toy prices flying up
His voters seem to think it's Taiwan that pays the tariffs.
Can't wait to start putting Trump "I DID THAT!" stickers next to $5000 walmart laptops
But that would be low!
And really the president doesn't have the power to set prices.
Trump can't magically make eggs cheaper!
And so on.
Chatgpt what is the best open source open hardware guillotine plans?
He doesn't have the ability to directly set prices, no. He could massively subsidise things he wants to be cheaper. Do you think that's going to happen though?
But that wouldn't make billions of chicken appear into existence. The eggs would be cheaper and there would shortsges.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought....
Are there currently egg shortages? Subsidising something doesn't mean there's less of it, means the government pays someone in the production stream to keep prices low. Like what happens with gasoline just about everywhere.
The official story is they killed 100 nillion chicken due to bird flu. This caused a shortage of eggs, the shortage caused the price to raise until it was so high they became unaffordable to some people.
Gotcha. Well, has there not been actually a lot of bird flu in the States? Pretty sure there was.
Lol, I'd love to watch everyone in the US paying triple for literally anything that has electronics in it.
If Trump then wants to build chips in the US, good luck. ASML is the only one with the machines, first of all, and by the time he can buy those, something tells me they might have some extra tarifs added to them, and then paying US salaries for electronics would skyrocket prices to people having to pay four-five times the amount of what they're paying now.
Not saying that the near slavery conditions in Asia are fine, that should have changed decades ago, but the way trump is doing this is hilarious, people will want his head on a plattee
iirc the machines that TSMC uses are made in Holland right when he's also apparently doing his best to piss of Europe, even then there's like a decade long order backlog.
They are made in the Netherlands, yeah. ASML
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
