There's post somewhere else on hexbear about the crypto guys getting pissed off at all the Trump & co. crypto scams that have been coming out because they were worried it could reduce confidence in crypto overall, so it could be that? Or maybe wallstreetbets guys withdrawing so they could short Nvidia? Lmao, what a stable system for currencies when any fart in the wind could have done this.

I think that's a no for general manufacturing and a not a chance in hell for high-end chip manufacturing. I forget where I read it, but one of the problems is something like domestic manufacturing is so hallowed out that we don't even have all the necesaary educational institutions/programs to produce the kind of specialists you'd need for a high-end chip fab.
So even if the US could somehow overcome corruption of companies just pocketing government funding (also not happening) there simply isn't a workforce to run things.
Trump will give Taiwan to China in exchange for getting to kidnap TSMC engineers, who will then be forced to live onsite at a de facto abandoned fab construction site in Arizona.
True, but at least tariffs (probably) won't be able to prevent Nvidia from crashing at that point. Who really knows, though, all this is shit is built upon multiple layers of irrationality, anyways.
Even if it doesn't, I'm sure it won't be long until China overtakes the West in manufacturing the best GPUs and at a much cheaper cost, too.
Idk, but I'm suddenly having the same gut feeling I had in February 2020. I bought a bunch of non-perishable foods at that time, thinking that if it turned out to be a nothing-burger I would just not have to shop for several of my pantry items for a few months. Of course, March hit, and I was very thankful I didn't need to visit the grocery store for pretty much the entire lockdown, and even when I did it was only because I was getting sick of eating the same things for a month straight.
Anyways, looks like I've got some extra grocery shopping to do this week 
BTW, masks are really cheap in bulk on Aliexpress right now, and bird flu or not, we can be sure that Covid will surge again come spring/summer.
Quoting my post from another thread for no particular reason:
Cant wait to learn about the next pandemic (on top of the current ongoing one) through healthcare workers anecdotally reporting a huge uptick in respiratory cases, and everyone else noticing a "really bad flu going around."

Hell yeah, I searched him a few days ago assuming he'd follow the trend to continue his grift, but unfortunately it wouldn't let me report him.
I saw Eddie was on there, too, gonna have to remember to report him and the rest of those patsoc losers if they're not already banned.
Edit: I still can't report them, but they have zero posts between themselves, so I assume they're banned? Maybe that's why reporting them throws an error.
I think it's just whatever server runs the verification stuff is getting hit too hard. I had to resend the code a few times, but it eventually went through.
PayPal is getting sued by a bunch of content creators for their Honey extension, which literally works by stealing affiliate referrals. But PayPal is probably big enough to never see real consequences from this, so who knows what will happen.
I can't imagine this happens with what I'm sure will be every single capitalist in tech banging down his door over it? 100% tariff on TSMC just seems like way too much of a threat for finance captial to tolerate, like "call the CIA and arrange for Trump to visit Dallas in a motorcade" intolerable.
Edit: Actually, after seeing his canceling of all federal grants, fuck it. I guess there's just no handlers this time around and he truly is just going to do whatever he wants unless the other oligarchs can cobble together a coup.
