Default Microchips bail out?

https://imgur.com/gallery/eidTzdo

Did no research

What the fuck is this? How stupid are we supposed to be?

Can’t possibly pay off student debt, make healthcare not ridiculous.

Gotta give rich orgs our tax dollars asap?

Auto, banks, big pharma, intel?

Is this actual or am I just misunderstanding

Health care costs are halved if obesity is made illegal

Hope this helps

We need chips to be made here and not Taiwan

We can’t even build cars anymore giys, y’all trying to be dependent on China like Europe is dependent on Russia? We need to crush everyone in everything. We subsidize corn but this makes you rednecks mad? Corn isn’t even actually a vegetable despite what they tell you at Cracker Barrel

What's happening is all the peopled that fucked all of that up, and became non competitive in the chips industry, are getting a bailout, to continue to be the complete failures that they are.

Just another big chunk for the 1% from uncle joe.

What happened was McConnell was holding the CHIPS bill(semiconductors) hostage until reconciliation was dead and then he thought it was, so the conference passed it; but Manchin and Schumer had been negotiating in secret so the second it got through the Senate, they announced their (mostly climate) deal.

Absolute pwnage right here folks. Manchin came home at just the right time.

The only thing that can fuck it up now is the Progessive caucus, of which Bernie is a member.

It’s actually incredibly hard to manufacture semiconductors and the Taiwanese have poured billions into their domestic industry because they figured that would tie their economy to China and insure america would have to defend them

As usual, you guys think things are very simple. China can’t make a jet engine. We can’t build the most advanced chips. These things are not that easy to accomplish and we should’ve been subsidizing these to the point where our industry never left

Would taking a harder stance on corruption make you understand how critical it is that we can’t build chips? You don’t want to defend Ukraine. Do you want to be obligated to defend Taiwan because we can’t even make a Ford with a backup camera without them?
