Opinionated summary:

  • Despite Republican assurances, Trump called the CHIPS Act “horrible” and pushed for its scrapping, creating chaos for an industry already struggling with uncertainty.
  • The Trump administration has already sabotaged the program by laying off key staff and considering changes to the projects, showing its disdain for U.S. industrial growth.
  • Industry leaders, who have already committed billions to U.S. chip production, are now left in limbo, thanks to Trump’s shortsighted, destructive rhetoric.

    Yeah the orange bozo is going to fuck up so many companies already struggling just to stay in business. Puff all of them will go in just a few months and then what? Oops sorry?

    Fuck that! I want to see this bozo in jail for the rest of his fucking miserable life. He’s already caused many of my fellow co workers to be laid off and I’m not in gob work. This is science and engineering work. This is stuff that generates work packages for machine shops, welders, inspectors, painters, skilled assembly men and women. I can’t believe that such technology generation is just going puff because of a late night show joke’s pun. I can imagine that if I’m ticked off there must be thousands of peoples who are way much more than ticked off here in the US. I can only guess at the level of love for this man in 90% of the planet. Imagine not being able to fly anywhere because you’re simply an asshole. Forever stuck between airport and hotel room afraid to venture out anywhere else.
