He seems to think that doing this will force manufacturers to build in the US, versus the Biden approach of incentivizing them to do that. What he doesn’t realize this will do is raise chips prices and manufacturers will simply pass that cost onto consumers.
I suspect this is part of his strategy to hand Taiwan over to the PRC, if “strategy” can be used to describe anything he does.
I got out just in time, it seems.
How much longer will Bluesky survive without doing the same?
I know this got a lot of downvotes, that’s fine. Most of my friends are not tech-savvy or young, they’re not going to be signing up for Lemmy or Mastodon. I’m not ready to lose touch with them entirely. I have taken steps to limit what info Meta can collect from me and stopped posting there entirely. I check in now and then to see if there’s anything big, but that’s it.
I’m waiting to see what happens before I make any moves. I’ve been on Meta apps for over a decade, I don’t want to lose the connections if I don’t have to.

The world they lived in is long gone along with the food they ate and the rest of their species. It seems almost cruel to bring them back.
No one could have predicted this totally predictable situation.
Biden: Sounds like a you problem.
I don’t know if he specifically wants that so much as he doesn’t care if it happens.
