    This is an amazing idea.

    I’m sure manufacturers will have e their new supply chains and manufacturing plants ready to go in a few weeks.

      So, does Intel:

      A. Justify their layoffs using this information that came out later?

      B. Use it to justify further layoffs?

      C. Completely ignore this as the market has no real effect on their internal workings

          Guessing that might be A & B. They should probably be hiring and throwing money at research on figuring out what will get them into the next technology so they can get back in the ring or even ahead when that time comes. Instead they seem to be choosing to fall further behind and just wait

        I think it was the PSA guys I heard talking about how the market is just ignoring him at this point. After the first couple announcements there were wild swings. But now TACO, and basically nothing changes.

      You are naïve if you think a lot of common people can benefit from any news. Remember folks- If it is in the news, it is in the price.

    Wasn’t Biden’s chips act meant to encourage chips and semiconductor manufacturing to be shored in the US? What’s Trump doing nuking everything with tariffs? Surely, the oligarchs who bankrolled him won’t appreciate this.

    Edit: clarity

      Yes Biden’s chips act did create a ton of new investments in chip building in the US. Only for Trump and Maga to kill it upon taking power. Now he’s going to claim the credit for all the investments made from the time of Biden’s chips act.

    I’m guessing this means the stock for some companies will dip and when it’s TACO time, his friends will be a bit richer?

    “Likely”? What kind of pathetic simping language is that. There is no “likely” about prices going up from such a move.

    Just 100%? Why not 400% or 9999999%? Hell, invent a new order of magnitude, call it Trumpillion and impose a Trumpillion percent tarriff, that’ll show’em how strong you are and will distract them from the Epstein files!

    He won’t do it, pure TACO. What’s his plan to tariff the epstein files though? Many people are asking.

    If he wants to give up the supercomputing race this badly he can also just drop the export restrictions on high performance GPUs to China when he’s at it.

    I am kinda hoping that our history books would read:

    “…Jen-Hsun ordered a successful hit on Trump. Despite clear evidence, he was found not guilty by the jury, and news networks were very lenient. Those who threaten the gold, are liquidated. Fortunately, the working class still overthrew Jeff Bezos and the other overlords, despite their merciless nature.”
