President Donald Trump says he's imposing a 100% tariff on computer chips— a move that raises the specter of higher prices for electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential goods that depend on the processors.
I’m sure US will switch to 4x more expensive domestic chip production in no time /s. If they really had capacity which they won’t no matter the announcements.
They’ll just throw together some fabs overnight using magic, and staff them with all that engineering talent the USA is currently deterring from coming and/or deporting.
Personally i believe the tarrifs should have been a percentage target with increasing penalties when not met. But going full bire works too just is a more painful transition.
They will not do anything, they will just say they do. A headline that you can quote to confirm your biases is all Trump need to keep you controled apparently.
it amuses me how much these companies are falling in line with the trump admin, everyone from facebook/google to harvard and you accuse me of falling in line. I’m just pointing out the reality of how these groups are behaving.
They do what they want, as long as they publicly kneel to kiss the ring from time to time. It’s the price oligars on the tsar’s leash tend to pay for the right to abuse all others. Nothing new under totalitarian sun.
