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.
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.
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.
Man, that’s one of the clearest example of backfire efect I ever saw. I litteraly sad that they wouldnt have to do anything as long as they bend the knee and publicly kiss the ring. That’s exactly what happend. And in your mind you manege to spin it into “exactly my point!”. I bet you think you’re unusualy rational person capable of changing their mind in the presence of evidence… “If only everyone else would listen to reason!”, right?
I’m not even mad, it’s acctualy an awesome case study. But I’ll stop right here. I don’t belive it will be productive.

It didn’t take long for this comment to not age well, did it?

Reminder: Your point was “they will swith to 4x more expensive domestic productions to avoid 5x more expensive tariffs”
