And exactly how many zeroes was behind nvidias ‘well thought out and reasoned argument for exemptions’?

Thanks Trump!

And what is THAT supposed to be?

I’ve been screaming about the republicans since they made it clear they were going for pure obstructionism with Obama.

I’m genuinely surprised Trump killed the CHIPS act, when he could’ve let that roll through and taken credit for it as the whole POINT of that was to improve US manufacturing.

Also reintroduce the build back better with whatever re-branding.

If he were truly interested in american manufacturing he’d have gone all in on these.

But no. he wants company owners and worldl eaders to come to him and beg for exemptions.

Same playbook of abusers everywhere. Always threaten punishment. Leave it as a potential. Leave it on the table as a stick to beat with, but never quite reach for it.

Don’t talk about doing the thing and do the thing.

permits, zoning, human lives, environmental concerns…

Here’s hoping it doesn’t go boom.

OK. Here’s the real question.

Are they sharing that research? I ask because if we can all get our heads out of our asses on energy production that kinda… wipes out a major reason for wars. Oh sure there are lots of OTHER reasons, but getting that off the table of excuses would be nice.

Also using fission materials as a way to shield the fusion reaction is a damned interesting way of getting around the spalling problem of the fusion reaction destroying its containment walls.

‘Chineese startup nobody has heard of.’

…am… I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like… they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?

Part of the plan. Shove the most blatant insane shit in while Trump is alive. Then when he conveniently has a stroke or is simply declared unfit… Vance and the others will seem like an easing off of things yet they will revel in that mask of normalcy to continue slowly escalating… key word there being slowly.

Waiting for AI to take over CEO positions because they do nothing and you can replace them with a series of shell scripts.

Well, there goes disability for me, my full time care twin, and my siezure prone full time care sister…

Yet another reason to not use windows 11.

I hope it does hurt them.

Fine they can open offices elsewhere, but that’s expense and time and complication. They need to hurt for bending the knee because that’s the only way they learn to fucking stop.

That was the headliner reason for me.

The rest was just ‘Alright, it isn’t enough this guy is a piece of shit, he’s pushing a shitty product.’

‘we don’t like it when OTHER people do it. This is Our Thing.’

Compare arab spring where Egypt shut down its internet and Twitter did everything it could to ensure messages got through…

To bowing down to authoritarian bullshit and locking down dissenting and potentially dissenting accounts.

You know, from the free speech absolutist.

Thus the price of collaboration. You are not rewarded, you simply draw attention to yourself as someone with wealth they can pillage.

Still a ratfucker, but … not as high a priority target as the one activly throwing out nazi salutes.
