A 100% tariff on imported chips?You will pay more fron your cell phone, your car, truck, e-bike, headphones, heating and cooling devices and computers. You will pay more for groceries, since they will have to pay more for cash registers, scanners, etc. This tax on you and I will pay goes to pay for tax breaks to the multi-millionaires and billionaires, not us.http://nedhamsonsecondlineviewofthenews.com/2025/08/06/a-100-tariff-on-imported-chips/

@nedhamson1 Yep 100% and the masses are either too stupid (maga) or to powerless to prevent it

@cvvhrn @nedhamson1 or maybe companies like Texas Instruments will invest $60billion in manufacturing chips in USA.https://finance.yahoo.com/news/texas-instruments-incorporated-txn-unveils-151327050.html

@soapone Get on that high horse when the FAB is up and running. Also CHIPS Act https://www.commerce.gov/news/press-releases/2024/11/biden-harris-administration-announces-chips-incentives-award-intel

@cvvhrn @soapone CHIPS act doesn't pay anything until real world milestones are achieved; to first approximation, as you said, "a fab is up and running."And TI likes making chips in the US, was already expanding a lot, and kinda need to for all the special or older processes where they do fancy analog or persistent memory tricks. Or that just don't need more leading nodes if the financials work out, including NRE for products that aren't going to be made in numbers where TSMC's finest pays for itself. (Side note, for TSMC converting a tape out into a set of leading edge masks can only be done on the island.)Meanwhile, @nedhamson1 is studiously ignoring how Trump negotiates. I guarantee you the retards who are currently running both Taiwan and more and more running TSMC off the island (especially due to power, they saw their nuclear power plants as KMT artifacts so they had to go, now they've got ten days of LNG supplies before it's lights out) are now paying full attention to this matter.

@ThatWouldBeTelling @nedhamson1 @cvvhrn well, as a machinist, I see what is being built because I make equipment for everyone.Right now there is no slow machine shops, with many more popping up out of nowhere. I have a couple friends that I am helping them get started with some very fancy expensive manufacturing equipment.There is a chip manufacturing facility I sometimes make replacement parts for, X-Fab, who makes computer systems for cars and other things.

@soapone @ThatWouldBeTelling@shitposter.world @nedhamson1 Hats off, the trades are so needed right now.
