Please elaborate and refresh my memory. This one largely involves the Intel Corp. and the manufacture of chips and chip fab equipment. The equipment manufacturer is probably Applied Materials.

I believe the difference is this one really never materialize and President Trump and Governor Scott Walker were touting the success. Went from a promise of 30k employees to around 1500. Had a lot of tax abatements and the like.

Old Joe is kicking ass! You don't have to like the man but he is making it difficult for anyone to not admire his work. Let's Go Brandon now means "I may be old but I can kick trump's ass any day of the week and twice on Sunday" :) If you believe in Democracy vote for winners and dump the trumps...

I just thought of a new definition for trump's "deCLASSified" meaning...the illegitimate, illegal and mentally ill actions of a man whose ego has no limits of destructive behaviors!

Yeah we dont need LCD manufacturing. We need chips. This is critical for the supply chain, particularly for cars.

CHIPS seem to be about a lot more than just creating jobs. It's about satisfying a fundamental crtical need.

I work in the semiconductor industry. Most of the world's chips are manufactured overseas (TSMC, UMC, Samsung, SMIC, eyc). Global Foundries is also a player with mfg in the US and Europe, but their capacity and technology is limited. Intel mainly manufactures their own processors and FPGA (recall that they bought Altera), but they also use TSMC. They are trying to bring a foundry service online (IFS), but this is very challenging and they have not made any silicon for outside customers yet. Time will tell whether the Intel investments from the CHIPS act will improve the situation for us and the rest of the world.

China is the real worry for the global chip industry. They have control over many rare materials that are required by the industry, but the real threat is Taiwan, where TSMC and UMC are. In addition to trying to improve the china situation by bringing some domestic capacity to the US with the CHIPS act, the US has sanctions in place that prevent us and other friendly countries from selling cutting edge technology to Chinese semiconductor companies.

In summary, I think the goals of the CHIPS act are good for the US and the world. But it's implementation needs careful consideration and recipients of our tax dollars need to be held accountable for the investment or our tax dollars.

@Lou Deman I seriously question that. Is it, declassified them, was it a mistake, did I turn them back when asked? Maybe you can tell me why the ever changing story. Not playing gotcha, serious question.
I'm not really sure what you're asking me here?

Trump’s increasing tirade against FBI and DoJ endangering lives of officials​

How would you treat these people if they did the same to you?

Why are you trying to parse every word out of his mouth? We all know he talks in code like a mafia don. It’s very obvious what his intent was by his withholding of the military aid. Stop defending the bastard. He is intent on destroying our intelligence service and you just act like it’s a semantics game.

Letting you know you are once again defending trump.;)

Before this call trump ordered the money that had already been approved held up. I’m sure you as a trump apologist have a defense for that.
Crowdstrike was a debunked conspiracy theory the POTUS wanted Zelensky to look into.
Again, the money was already approved.

The President: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike... I guess you have one of your wealthy people... The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named Robert Mueller, an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.”

The money had already been approved so not sure how this has anything to do with fulfilling that obligation. In fact he withheld it for 55 days and only released it when it became public.


The President: “The other thing, There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.”

I'm not trying to parse anything. If were are being honest, and honesty is your goal, there was no quid pro quo in the phone call that the left impeached Trump for. To say you know something implies fact when, in fact, this is your opinion. I'm not defending Trump as much as I'm just being honest. If the FBI did to you what they did to Trump then you would have every right to call them cons to anyone that would listen, that is my opinion.
