"SNIP.............

“Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo is on an urgent mission: get as much high-tech spending out the door before Donald Trump takes office,” Politico reports.

“The Biden administration is aiming to commit nearly every unspent dollar in its $50 billion microchip-subsidy program before President-elect Donald Trump takes over in January, an effort that would effectively cement a massive industrial legacy before the GOP can reverse course.”

and distribute amongst the 9/11 Survivors, the NYFD, NYPD, and all those on the pile in those days. Send them on long overdue vacations. Pay off their mortgages and/or crushing debts for health care not otherwise covered.

Why?

The Survivors are about to be insulted in the extreme by Caligula, who says he is going to bring the PGA and the Saudi LIV Tower Crashers Golf League together to bury the hatchet.

So peace, love, and fuk your feelings to the 9/11 Survivors. Rewarding those who financed the flying and crashing of those four jets, by sports washing what those suicide terrorists did is akin to aiding and abetting the enemy. It used to be called un-American.

Keep in mind... this is still VERY early and it'll take a decade or more before we start to see the US be a player in the chip market.

Did either state appreciate that effort? Fuck no. Next Democratic President we have in office needs to do what Republican always do - look after their own.

This act would allow military widows to remarry without losing their medical coverage for them and children.
