I actually made some good cash tracking the chip market per-pandemic. Poor planning, poor return on automotive chips (they use a different size), trade sanctions (thank Trump), and limited investment in production all combined to cause a perfect storm. Intel TSMC and Samsung are all building new factories but they take up to two years to reach full production. Intel alone is spending $20 BILLION to build two plants in Arizona. At least one positive outcome it production is moving back to America. If only there was a huge facility being built in the US that had different initial plans (LCDs) that could be redirected towards chip production. I introduce you the the Foxconn factory in SE Wisconsin, which isn't doing much yet. Initially slated to build LCDs, the infrastructure buildouts should enabled it to build pretty much anything high tech. In the USA.

I'm all for free trade but more-so if all players play ball. The more industry and manufacturing that moves back to America the better. 3

I think it's a train wreck. No doubt. Horrible. I'm hoping Biden is a one-term president and we get much higher caliber humans to choose from. BUT.... do I regret voting for him? Nope. Because at least I don't have to fumble to quickly change the radio station when my kids are in the car and they start talking about how the President of the United States casually cheats on his third wife to bang porn stars and then pays them hush money. For all his faults, Biden doesn't recreationally rawdog porn stars. That's nice. That does a lot for me. And because at least no lunatics have stormed the U.S. Capitol and called for the murder of the VP and/or speaker of the house. That's a win. I really like not seeing members of congress evacuated and morons with zip ties trapsing around the senate floor. That was the last straw for me, and I don't understand how it couldn't be for other people. I understood a lot of the mental gymnastics that people did to justify Trump's many shortcomings because, in general, they liked his policies, or more often, disliked Democrat policies. But Jan 6th was unforgivable-- a national disgrace, and such a low moment in US history that I'm still glad I voted for the current administration, despite all it's faults. I just wish we had better choices to start with. Edited November 1, 2021 by SpeedOfHeat 2

Or are we just not going to talk about Tara Reade? 6

Apparently it doesn't bother her that much because shes still there, so why anybody else cares beats me.

I just wish we had better choices to start with. The guy (assumption) answered the question. I appreciate it. I pretty much disagree with his position, but at least he answered the query. Attacking him won't change his mind. It will probably make him dig in even deeper. We can debate the actions and policies of the current Administration, but personal attacks won't change his past or future vote. I'd like to hear from other Biden voters and see your opinions. 3

Totally their business and I honestly don't care, just like I don't care about fraternization or adultery in the military. Why the American public has such an incredible fascination with who people are banging has always been beyond me. 1
