Photolithography itself was invented in the US a while ago, but the company that perfect the manufacturing process that is used for modern chips is in either Belgium or Denmark iirc. That company just leases its machines to TSMC so it’s entirely possible they could just move the machines to the USA. But that’s my surface level understanding, I don’t know for sure.
If you think the US military wouldn’t immediately remove all assets from California you’d be sorely mistaken. There is no way that the fed would allow assets like that to be given away to a successionist movement. Even if they didn’t, California doesn’t have the logistic ability to maintain those assets for more than id say 3 months.
No, it’s a little more complicated than that. How a video explained it was, say someone was trying to sell you a TV, you decide to buy that TV and the salesman gives you a card to let the cashier know who the salesman was to get the commission. When you’re at the checkout line, a different sales man comes up and offers to find you a coupon code to help save you money. In the process of looking, regardless of if a coupon code is found, the second salesman takes the original card the previous salesman gives you and switches it with his own unbeknownst to you or the original salesman. Then when you buy the product the second guy gets the commission.
Be careful, you dont want to be too common sense or you will be labeled a right wing idealogue. People fail to realize that criminals will find a way every time. They dont care about gun laws any more than any other law. These people would rather bandaid the issue than address what is pushing kids to want to shoot up their peers. Its the video games cause violence argument all over again.
Your false sense of moral and social superiority is sickening. Please look within and understand you are wrong about literally everything you have written today. Its saddening to see someone who in their mind believes everyone else is so below them. I believe you can be better, should be better, its important that you are.
I was tipped a For Motion Picture Use only 5 dollar bill at my valet job and called the person out for it being not a real 5. They are very distinguishable, even on first glance the color and texture is just wrong. The lady who gave it to me got all flustered and claimed she didnt even know it wasnt real. This kind if thing happens more often than you think
The napkin one is harder to find, still searching for it. This politico article explains it pretty well.
If he would make any public policy positions beyond gun control, maybe it would be easier to support him. But he seriously seems very one dimensional as a politician. That’s not to say he doesn’t have other opinions, but from all I have seen of him publicly is that he is very anti gun. I get it, I have friends who went to Stoneman Douglass, but they all say he is standing on the graves of his peers. It’s a losing battle for the progressive movement, we have seen it time and time again. If he could push his PAC to make some real policy positions on things that are actually destroying America such as the consolidation of wealth and property, private equity firms, labor outsourcing, debt, national debt, inefficient or poorly maintained public services, climate change, etc, he would probably be more successful with less resistance from the establishment. As for existing members of the DNC who would be better than him, I couldn’t tell you. From what I gather, he is getting a lot of push back for trying to get younger people into political positions, I fully support his efforts in that regard but he needs to get his plan together.
