I did think the market was higher than it is vs Jan 21 I'll admit that.

But I assume you'll also admit that BIden has faced market headwinds unlike anything we've seen in 12 years? 

I am willing to admit that he faced the issue of rate hikes and their impact on the markets, which Obummer and Trump did not deal with. However, I don't think he should automatically get a pass when these rate hikes were a result of inflation, which I do not think his administration has tackled well at all (understatement)..... also,  because I believe the market was still doing VERY well for the first part of 2021 as Biden was still taking advantage of the Covid market rebound. So he had tailwinds to take advantage of as well.

No, just poor and losing at life.

Can you share your criteria for what makes someone a winner at life vs a loser at life?

Why do surgeons wear masks?  Or they SHOULD wear them while operating but NOT wear them while seeing sick patients?  Is that what you're saying?

Mabye let the docs figure that out?  Cause you know they're docs....

So, Doc Rivers is a straight up moron. Worst administrator in the N.B.A. Everybody in Philadelphia is demanding this Doc gets fired right now. Yet, you insist he knows more than the entire city of Philadelphia. 

You have the distinct stench of mental illness and failure. And, for some reason, Lady Speed Stick.

Good question which deserves a longer answer than I can do now.  For now I will say we shouldn't have let it get to this point.

Interesting theory Cotton.

I'm just glad you're free to be your real gay self in this day and age.

So the whole "You have the distinct stench of mental illness and failure." slid right past you?

Cause that is actually the part you should be worried about most in life. But whatever. Maybe you like being stupid.

Dude if you're going to be a crackpot cultist at least communicate at like an elementary school level so we can understand you.

The reason everybody should be pleased about this is one of the reasons we are so committed to taiwan's defense? Is because they are leading chip provider. If we can degrade our reliance upon them, we're not so stuck on the idea of defending them regardless.

I am elated for any effort to domesticate production.

It will take at least 5 years for anything to come of this and in the process Democrat donors will devour the funding 2 times over.

Lather rinse repeat, Republicans would do the same.

My god I have nothing but contempt for government

Still can"t get low frequency prox readers.  The chip antennas are not available.

Chip antennas are RF, a different technology than the big digital stuff that TSMC does.  There are American manufacturers of that, I think -- I never worked in that space.

US, Canada, Mexico ponder some sort of chip supply collab

Climate change, drugs and immigration behind semiconductors on White House priority list

The US, Mexico, and Canada have renewed talks on semiconductor manufacturing supply chains during the North American Leaders Summit (NALS) in Mexico City which kicks off today.

In a fact sheet, the White House laid out a trilateral partnership that would see the three countries work together to address several challenges ranging from drug trafficking, immigration, and climate change. However, the first item on the agenda was an initiative designed to bolster North American semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.

The effort is expected to kick off at a semiconductor forum early this year, during which the Biden Administration hopes to discuss opportunities for investment across each of the three countries.

The plan closely aligns with US efforts over the past two administrations to reduce reliance on Asian Pacific foundries and foster domestic chip production. Last summer, the US passed a $280 billion CHIPs and Science Act, which allocated more than $50 billion to the construction of domestic fabs.

Numerous fabs are now under construction across the US with many more planned for the coming years. However, fabs are only one piece of a larger semiconductor manufacturing puzzle that relies on a complex network of resources and services to function.

Mexico reportedly hopes to capitalize on the explosion of US chip fabrication with packaging, testing, and design facilities of its own.

Attempts to integrate Mexico into the US semiconductor supply chain have been going on for a while, but it has been slow progress. Last September, US Secretary Antony Blinken and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo met with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to discuss aligning US chip production with the nation's lithium industry with the goal of bolstering North American EV production.

Mexico is home to the 10th largest lithium deposits globally and recently moved to nationalize the mining of those resources.

However, as Reuters reports, disputes over Mexican energy policies have derailed talks up to this point. The US and Canadian leaders have taken issue with López Obrador's decision to prioritize its struggling state energy companies, which remain heavily reliant on fossil fuels. This has reportedly made investment in Mexico a tricky affair for companies trying aggressively to reduce their carbon footprints.

To this end, the three countries committed to several clean energy initiatives during this week's summit. Chief among them are measures to cut methane emissions — a potent greenhouse gas — by 15 percent by 2030 from 2020 levels, establish a North American clean hydrogen market, and install EV charging infrastructure along international borders. But whether these efforts will be enough to assuage the US and Canada's concerns remains to be seen.

The summit's focus on semiconductor supply chains comes as the US pressures Japan, South Korea, and the Netherlands to blockade the supply of chipmaking equipment and resources to China.

Having met with Canadian and Mexican leaders during the NALS this week, Biden's next stop is Japan, where the US leader is expected to discuss several issues including security and a chip industry restriction deal.

This seems like a good thing, particularly the idea of using Mexico for cheaper semiconductor packaging and final test, which we can't remotely compete with in the US.

If you really love useless spending. Oh, look who I'm talking to. A liberal. Of course you love useless spending. 

Hopefully the congress rectifies this terrible decision previously made.
