More Democratic Party Orwellianism—heh, they sure LOVE that guy!!

(Actually, it IS an “inflation” bill in that it’s an inflation GENERATOR; IOW it will most certainly FLAME MORE inflation(!)—not that Paul Krugman will tell you that…or care one way or the other—outrageously absurd partisanship does have its uses(!)…)

Corporations take money from their shareholders, employees, and customers and pass it on to the government. When politicians tell you that they’re taxing your corporate employer, understand that they’re taxing you.

They will never acknowledge how destructive their covid response was, either. This is not a good development.

The tiny Omaha Public Power District plans on spending $28 billion in order to achieve net zero carbon. OPPD only has 1 million customers. The US has 330 million people. Do the math.

Plus McConnels bs on Covid reliefs, deliberate timing so he could be in the minority. More money…

And they are *very* profitable.

What that ‘manufacturing doesn’t matter’ crowd has missed is that ‘how to make it’ involves skills and knowledge, just as ‘what to make’ does.

Absolutely correct. The Senate Parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Majority Leader and can be overruled by simple majority vote. In 2001 the Republican Majority Leader fired the Parliamentarian because of his rulings on budget.

Any rule of the Senate may be set aside at any time by a simple majority vote–there is nothing in the Constitution that can prevent this, as the Senate has the power to decide what its rules are. A recent example happened in December 2021 when Mitch McConnell joined the Democrats to break a threatened Republican filibuster on the debt ceiling, and no breathless articles on “the nuclear option” were penned.

I’m not a computer geek, so most of what you said is greek (or latin, I don’t know which).

TSMC is in the supercomputing chip business, but I think as a foundry, they concentrate on advancing existing technologies.

I kind of recognize some of the terms and it seems pretty fast to me. TSMC is working on:

“Considering architectural and node-related improvements expected by 2023, it is fair to expect such behemoth multi-die chips to offer 6X – 7X peak theoretical performance of today’s flagship solutions. How about GPUs with a whopping 126 FP32 TFLOPS compute horsepower (A100 x6.5) three or four years from now?

To enable such massive theoretical performance, each 4X chip assembly will be equipped with 12 HBM2 memory stacks, which means a 12,228-bit bus. Even using currently available SK Hynix’s HBM2E 3600MT/s memory chips, that translates into an incredible 5.53TB/s memory bandwidth.”
