    I've heard Joe Scaraborough and many other pundits bring up the same thing. Odai the Republican Senate candidate in CO is trying to buck that trend as he's running without Trump's support that he hasn't sought and doesn't want Trump campaigning for him. He's trailing in the polls but doing a bit better than many thought he would.

    So if he were one of the people you offered to buy a beer for at the Astros game, you'd spit on him instead? Would you still buy him the beer? The offer did say all Clutchfans.

    Truly an incredible amount of pre-dawn aggression in this thread today.

    China’s YMTC asks core US staff to leave due to chip export controls

    Chinese chipmaker Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp has asked American employees in core tech positions to leave, as it rushes to comply with new US export controls that are disrupting the country’s chip industry.

    Four people close to the company said it was unclear how many US citizens and green card holders would be forced to leave YMTC, but that several in China had already left the memory chip producer.

    A senior YMTC engineer said some of the Americans were key to the company’s breakthroughs on Nand memory chip production. “But there’s no other way around [them leaving],” the person added.

    The departures come as chip companies in China, the US and Europe are rushing to ensure they are compliant with the tough export restrictions unveiled by Washington this month.

    Leading US chip equipment suppliers Lam Research, Applied Materials and KLA Corporation have suspended sales and services to semiconductor manufacturers in China. Netherlands-based ASML has told its US staff to stop serving all Chinese customers while it assesses the sanctions.

    The new rules require any US citizen or entity to seek permission from the Department of Commerce for providing support to fabrication plants, or fabs, upending a key pipeline of talent for China’s chip industry that relies in part on American engineers and scientists’ expertise to advance its tech. This includes hundreds of ethnic Chinese who were educated and trained in the US before returning to their country of birth.

    ...

    A person briefed on the turmoil at YMTC said Washington’s export controls left the company with little choice. “Asking staff to resign is necessary for the company and the right move for employees’ personal risk as well,” the person said.

    Lawyers say the US commerce department is unlikely to hand out licences to bypass the rules.

    “You either give up your citizenship or quit your job,” said one Chinese semiconductor executive.

    A different Chinese executive at a Shanghai-based state-backed chipmaker said the company was negotiating the exit of several Americans who were unwilling to give up their US passports.

    “For now we’ve asked our US staff to work from home until everyone’s situation is finalised,” the person said, noting they had also rescinded a job offer to an American passport holder.

    “Now we are not just trying to build up ‘US-free’ manufacturing lines but also de-Americanise the teams,” said the executive.

    Industry headhunters said the rules would cut down the pool of talent available for Chinese semiconductor companies, which are already struggling to find experienced staff.

    The rules “have halved the number of available candidates for senior positions in chipmakers and toolmakers”, said a Shanghai-based headhunter, who asked not to be named.

    Corporate records in China show Americans dot the top ranks of leading Chinese semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers.​

    Joe said today that gas was $5 a gallon when he assumed office.

    If you look at it through his perspective, he has actually lowered gas prices.

    That was going to happen regardless of what the USA did. It makes it easier to control their people.

    Ehh Biden went to high school in Delaware, where he did play and start on the football team. He didn’t say anything about college football.

    Also Biden was a Constitutional Law professor for many years.

    Biden can tell some whoppers but these aren’t two of them.

    He didn't meet his first wife when he was in high school, he met her in the Bahamas when he was on Spring Break (while he was in college). The timeline of his story requires that he is talking about college football, not high school. He played on the freshman team, didn't letter, and then played spring ball on the varsity team but didn't play in the fall. Is it possible that he would have made starter if he had played in the fall instead of visiting Neilia Hunter every weekend? Maybe. That is what he is talking about though, not high school sports. Perhaps not a whopper, but maybe a whopper, jr.

    what an insult to my favorite Republican POTUS.

    Reagan had issued an EO to provide amnesty to undocumented residents, gainfully employed and have not committed any crime.
    On the other end of the spectrum, the trust-fund baby orange hair had implemented the practice of separating chidren from parents who had try to gain entry to the US

    Mayor Adams orders more budget cuts at NYC agencies amid grim fiscal outlook

    https://www.nydailynews.com/news/po...0221122-63fb52bporhmbao7ma3fok2cqa-story.html

    excerpt:

    The impetus for the cuts, Jiha wrote, is the fact that the city government is staring down a $2.9 billion budget gap next fiscal year that projections show could grow as large as $6 billion by 2026.

    Jiha argued the deficits could be exacerbated by the fact that the administration is about to renegotiate labor contracts with nearly all public sector unions, while the city has received no assurance that the federal government will help cover expenses associated with the local migrant crisis, which is projected to cost as much as $1 billion this fiscal year alone.

    Add spiraling inflation, financial market downturns and rising health care and energy costs to that equation, and the city’s in for a potential fiscal nightmare that could result in drastic service cuts down the line unless it’s nipped in the bud, Jiha reasoned.

    “We face great fiscal and economic challenges in the months and years ahead,” he wrote.
