TSMC has just started to move again in the last month or so after a prolonged dip and sideways sleep. Could it be that when the world's supply chains are mucked up that Taiwan is effected no matter what the covid policy was? They are also building two huge fabs in Arizona . So they are going to both reap the rewards of manufacturing in the USA and being able to survive any Taiwanese situation that may arise.

@mfawls9624 LOL, Things often seem paradoxical if you believe the MAGA FUD, and are then given a peek at reality. Cali is mecca for the homeless and street people, they come from all over the country. But Cali is rich rich rich, and huge huge huge, far bigger and richer than a few minute places where the news media likes to focus.

@Jay-vt1mw Sure, because the wizard said so. . . Except he has no way of knowing the next breakthrough that will change everything, many of which are already on the horizon. And you don't need pop growth if Teslabots and the like are working all the factory work, and you don't even really need lawyers now if they would just allow AI to work in the law. While a lawyer would charge hundreds if not thousands or in the case of the Musk ripoff -- millions of dollars per hour, AI could get it done in seconds for pennies.

@kinbolluck476 And that would be a faulty argument becauset if they don't have stuff they aren't going to be able to "come for you" unless you let them.

Guess which president's one move was to cut taxes for the richest Americans while diving the country into debt faster than any president in history had. Because that is the deal he cut with the real money behind MAGA -- Robert Mercer (founder of Renaissance hedge fund) who would rather have the USA fall into ruin than pay taxes on the fortune that his HFT programs siphoned off the stock market. He is the real money behind Trump, and Bannon, and the hundreds of fake news organizations that sprang up and called the real news fake. And three types of people fell for it, some of the rich (because of his tax cuts. Remember Trump said to them "I have just made all of you a lot richer") Those sociopathic sycophants who smelled the possibility of being part of a new power elite that replaced the old one. And his biggest group of supporters -- the small town rubes - It wasn't the first time a NYC conman pulled the wool over their eyes and it won't be the last -- they are mostly just unbelievably ill-informed and dumb. Take for instance that Trump cultists moved form Fox New to even more radical purveyors of lies like NewMax etc. Fox was bad enough, a study at the U of Maryland found that people who had relied on Fox News for information knew less about what was really happening than people who did not follow the news at all. This is only possible because they are being lied to continually, in just the way they want to be lied to.
