  1. That guy is disingenuous as fuck. Basically blaming asset inflation and wage disparity on the Biden adminstration. Also, fucking hilarious how he and a bunch of other robber barons made 20% a day fucking with the Bank of England.
  2. A pretty large number of Biden's EOs were for no other reason than to reverse Trump's, I'd wager. Congressional inaction and ineptitude is a real problem. But I don't think overweening executive power is the answer.
  3. Specifically, about Jack's alcoholism. The whole book is basically a giant "dry drunk," what happens to varying degrees when an alky stops drinking without taking steps leading to recovery. Any recovering addict can see that it's an extreme, but accurate, portrayal. Which is ironic, because King was an active alcoholic/addict at the time he wrote it. He's been pretty candid about that since recovering in the late 80s, but it would seem that he'd had some abortive attempts at recovery at the time of writing, experiencing dry drunks himself, which is not something he's mentioned.
  4. Something up with which we shall not put.
  5. Marvelous how you avoided the dangling preposition, yet dangled one anyway. 😛
  6. I don't care if he posts Newton's laws or the Relativity Theorem. It's Ian Miles Cheong. Not a source that a cabinet level US official should be reading much less retweeting.
  7. Oops, wrong irrelevant brunette.
  8. Perfecto.
  9. TSMC might well have an independent incentive to build fabs here in the event of a Chinese invasion or other aggression. Samsung probably doesn't. And there are a lot of domestic HQd SC manufacturers incentivized by CHIPs to keep fabs domestic and invest domestically (Micron, Intel, etc.).
  10. And, last time I checked, Barr was a complete Magat.
  11. Can't edit. Some things I learned. Native deer are legally publicly owned, regardless of the "living" or "breeding" conditions. TPWD thus regulates even private herds as game animals. This can be unpleasant and expensive for deer breeders, especially if some mad cow crops up. TPWD can order destruction of the herd. Curry wants to have "private" deer herds that are (un)regulated as livestock. That's the whole reason for this.
  12. You are now: (c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/7
  13. The bill transfers all employees and current appropriations and property to other agencies. It doesn't save a nickel. The real reason here. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/texas-lawmaker-deer-breeder-abolish-tpwd/ All in the name of protecting deer breeders, like himself. Piece of shit.
  14. Wow, I cloaked that right the fuck up. Soz mates. I just can't stand it when this kind of idiocy is normalized and sanewashed into some coherent economic policy. Sure, tariffs have continued to be around, but in a more nuanced context, like anti-dumping duties and for very similar reasons that don't amount to dumping. Also, elsewhere, Samsung's Taylor plant is being dismissed as tariff-induced or something other than CHIPS. Note that in Samsung's no-doubt rosy predictions, the fab, commenced in 2022 and representing a $17billion investment, will not be complete until 2030. That's the kind of timeframe, minimum in most cases, we're looking at in terms of onshoring manufacturing.
  15. Because of your media choices. It's a "horrible, horrible" thing. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/06/trumps-chips-demand-creates-a-52-billion-headache-for-congress-00215214 And is it some valid economic criticism, fuck no. It's because Biden, because your man is a motherfucking cunt child. C U N T
  16. Well I am pretty sure it is in the rosiest terms possible. But very clearly attributable to CHIPs Act and it's still going to take eight years to complete
  17. You are grossly mistaken. In Samsung's own words. https://semiconductor.samsung.com/us/sas/company/taylor/
  18. Wait, deregulation and letting business do whatthefuckever is a "neoliberal economic policy" now? Coulda sworn that was Reagonomics. And, a targeted legislative effort. Yes, a targeted, bipartisan legislative effort by one Joseph Robinette Biden, who had to whip significant Republican voters in the Senate, at the very least. Fucking Trump has both houses, and he's going to repeal Chips because he's a motherfucking child and has the leadership and intellect of a motherfucking child. Don't act like this shit is sane or normal.
  19. Walt Nauta was a fucking mess mate. A rating formerly reserved for Negroes, when they were called that.
  20. @Anastasis your thoughts on Ian Miles Cheong? And a DNI that reposts such claptrap? A Malaysian gamer?
  21. Also, let's talk about "the globalization handbook." Who did that? The government? Only if you mean by inaction, by laissez-faire and anti-union and anti-regulation postures. It was business that did that while the gubmint was sticking its thumb up its ass letting shit trickle down. When push comes to shove, the government is going to have to be actively involved in returning important jobs, like semiconductors, to the United States. It's not going to do it by slashing the federal workforce and regulation and opposing unions at every turn. In a lot of ways, the government is going to have to force corporations to act more like US citizens than they have the last 30-40 years or so. When push comes to shove, you think Trump or Elon fucking Musk is going to reliably do that?
  22. The CHIPs Act is the way to go about this, not tariffs. Tariffs are a blunt force instrument of the stupid. They might have a role in certain instances, but this is not a coherent economic policy.
  23. wEApoNiZation against white people.
  24. So this Kambli fucker is a true believer from the KS AG office, which is much like the Texas AG office: a hive of scum and villainy. These fuckin Indians are getting mighty uppity in a country that doesn't like browns. One thing the courts can do is stop granting any relief to the Trump administration and start disbarring (from local federal practice) DOJ attorneys that display lack of candor.
