"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.”

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

1. In retaliation, and to recoup the money

Trump will just destroy even more middle class and lower class programs.

[whathehell]

5. So we should do nothing?

That's certainly what all these "why bother, It's hopeless" responses sound like.

[Nimble_Idea]

19. what do you mean do nothing? Grab the popcorn?

[Magoo48]

20. I like popcorn as much as the next guy. But, I suggest we eat our popcorn while we resist.

While we plan the multitude of ways to resist, direct action, indirect actions, passive approaches; there is a resistance to fit every personality and physical condition, every age and demographic, everybody can resist. And, consume popcorn at the same time.

[Hotler]

23. You can eat popcorn while sitting on the couch at home. And save some money

while participating in a spending boycott. Our consumer dollar is a powerful tool and it can be used everyday, where votes can only be used ever 2-4 years.

[whathehell]

27. I dont understand your question..

Maybe you could rephrase it.

[Hope22]

8. Sadly.......He plans to maximize that already. Nt

[cstanleytech]

26. He was planning to do that already so he and other wealthy assholes can buy the houses of people foreclosed on.

[NBachers]

2. And *rump will take credit for all the jobs & advancements that Joe and the Democrats created.

[ananda]

3. And give as much of it to Ukraine as possible.

Let Trump''s billionaire buddies pay for everything.

[Lawjo]

11. What? Trump is NOT going to give money or aid to Ukraine, sadly

[ananda]

12. I'm talking about the current Biden admin.

...

[newdeal2]

4. Give it to blue state projects please

We are gonna get screwed over the next four years.

[bdamomma]

24. Red states

are going to get screwed too. And they voted for the felon.

[Submariner]

6. How about taking a billion of that

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.

7. Only one problem... that spending will aid the Trump economy in 2025 and beyond...

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.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

21. We already know T***p will claim credit.

T***p was claiming credit for the record-breaking economy (all the while bad mouthing it) by saying, "The market is going up because they know I'm going to be president." He doesn't say '"again" because in his pea brain he's still president--he never left.

Harry S Truman (no period) said, "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." We know that President Biden will sacrifice all for the common good; spending everything will ensure that thousands will get good-paying jobs and the U.S. will continue to lead the world in chip design and manufacturing. If he leaves it on the table the money will just go to Elon and all of T's rich donors.

[PeaceWave]

9. It still bothers me that Biden helped negotiate chip factories in Ohio and Arizona...

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.

[Callie1979]

13. As for AZ, they've long been a chip hub. Motorola started a research lab there in '49

As for Ohio I know nothing!

[Tribetime]

17. Biden's a great man looking out for all Americans regardless

Of who they voted for...Something Maga will never do

[Doremus]

22. Long time Dem senator Sherrod Brown

had everything to do with the Chips investment in Ohio. And in fact the entire Chips Act.

He lost his reelection bid to a kleptocrat, much to Ohio's detriment.

[cpamomfromtexas]

10. Love lives on Act

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

[calimary]

18. I really like the sound of that one!

The “Love Lives On Act”!

Really restores yer faith.

[cpamomfromtexas]

28. It's named for our late military spouses

And also references that while we are left behind we want to live and if we are lucky love again.

[calimary]

29. Sure works for me.

Makes perfect sense. It’s realistic, considerate, and kind.

[Figarosmom]

14. Tthey should have been doing that right along. Nt

[Playingmantis]

15. I am proud to say I know Gina personally..

I will thank her next time I see her.

Any messages for her?

[applegrove]

16. The people where those jobs are being created owe her and Biden a great deal.

[bdamomma]

25. As

a RI'er thank her for her work and support.

[calimary]

30. Please thank her for the rest of us, too!

[BlueTsunami2018]

31. All federal infrastructure contracts were pulled the day after the election.

Either cancelled or put on hold indefinitely. I know this because the construction job I was going to start for Amtrak was canceled immediately. My PM told us all the contracts were pulled because the asshole want to repeal, either in part or wholly, both the CHIPS act and the Infrastructure law.
