Biden locks in $6.6B for TSMC chip factories, ensuring Trump can’t rescind CHIPS Act deal

Yep. Tariff will make prices high for things we don't even currently manufacture. If we do see anything getting manufactured in 4 years time and prices go down he'll say he did it.

As is the Republican way.

It's a shame we've heard more about Trump these last four years than we have about the actual president, as it does seem a lot of good was done, but most people probably wouldn't know it as a pile of buffoons have been shouting over it the whole time. I don't know if there's been a single day in the last 8 years I haven't seen his name or heard his ramblings.

I'm sad to be losing the protections that have been attempted for the environment and green energy, and the realization I had yesterday that we'll be losing Lina Khan, who looked to have such a promising career helping the American people. There were a lot of flaws and oversights still, and the weak support of Ukraine and the situation is Gaza are pretty damning mistakes, but overall it felt like things had been going in a good direction from where we were with COVID and Trump.

As someone who went into the Biden presidency with extremely low expectations, I think he largely did good given with both what he had to work with, and with the expectation that something would have been done by the justice system to ensure Trump was kept out of office legally. I guess add that to the huge oversight list...

I'm left very torn on how to approach the future. If the left starts playing dirty like the right, I don't feel that will get them to stop doing it. When both sides are just resorting to dirty tricks, I don't know how we get a civil society back. At the same time, counting on norms and elected officials respecting their offices seems to be all but dead, at least if we wish to still to try combat some level of authoritarianism.

I would have much rather had a dottering old man eating ice cream and telling old anecdotes than anything coming our way though.

I mean he straight up wouldn't have lasted four years.

Oh, stfu dude. You clearly don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Your ignorance is showing.

It doesn’t just create thousands of domestic jobs and reduce the cost gap between Taiwanese and Chinese semiconductors, it also ensures a financial pipeline for Taiwan.

They’ll need all the help they can get once Trump pulls US support ships out of the Taiwan Strait, allowing Chinese control of Taiwanese ports once again.

What exactly would you have Biden do with a person that was elected fair and square by the American people? They are politicians. They are bound by the system. He gave us fair warning.

Surviving it is up to us now.
