So the president can just unilaterally edit existing laws now? Cool.

He can if the GOP decides to do nothing, and it seems that the game plan. They're all in on downplaying his actions and not ruffling any feathers because to speak out is to be cast out. If they play along, they might just get to keep some power when this is all over.

They've always been scum, but this is a new low. Dried scum crusted onto the bottom of wherever scum normally resides.

Turns out all that was necessary to destroy the US government was to finance a bunch of criminally corrupt narcissists. Once they hold the majority, some of them simply do nothing and continue collecting their paycheck + bribes, while the rest take a sledgehammer to everything.

What this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing

Oh yeah that sounds brilliant. Not like that market needs a stable regulatory environment for their massive investrment to come to fruition. I'm sure it will inspire a lot of confidence in investments in the US chip market when he alters the deal after billions of sunk cost.

Just bought a new gaming desktop, and just upgraded another home desktop with a new GPU as well. When GPU prices triple in 6 months, I'm gonna look like a genius.
