Sticking a kid in front of a screen is just lazy parenting. Instead, give the child some toys to play with to stimulate imagination. Read books with them to get them started so they can create images in their minds. Go outdoors with them and see what's going on out there. Dig a hole, make a homemade nature video. Go fishing or swimming in a lake. Ride a bicycle (not a stupid e bike).

What's interesting is the U.S. doesn't make the majority of I.C.s for the U.S. products. China is now requiring "permits" for their companies that manufacture and ship out products to the U.S. that contain rare Earth elements.
It's going to get interesting in that our automotive industry is dependent upon the elements as well as just about everything electronic that we purchase. I predict some backtracking on the decision once reality sets in.

Men typically perform most physical work for a living also. Construction for example, installing flooring, garbage collection. Jobs requiring physical strength. That type of work can take its toll on the body.

Also be forced to watch a half hour of commercials and upcoming attractions.
Add to that, a dweeb on a cellphone lighting up your field of view while you're trying to watch the movie.
For an added "plus", someone sneezing while sitting behind you and not covering their mouth.

I'll gladly pay to watch the movie at home.

Sixty-two percent of my property taxes in California go toward education. They still want parents to supply classroom materials. Add to that, our lottery system funds education. It's corrupt.

California's education is extremely top heavy. Two of my son's teachers became "assistant superintendents" . They also build many "Taj Mahal" offices of education throughout the state.

Politicize the education curriculum to the point where it disgusts teachers trying to do their jobs.
 

"Investing for a living" is not reasonable. For every dollar gained on the market, someone loses a dollar.
Investing for a living will not work. ''Sorry.

"Imaginary Lover". There's a song about it.

I don't need or want a "smart TV". Instead, I have a PC connected to my TV and watch things from my TV.
I haven't watched OTA in over 40 years. It's pure garbage.

With Microsoft forcing updates on drivers and now apps, the stability of their OS will be compromised when things "don't work".

One more reason I'm done with Microsoft OS's. It's Linux and Chrome for me.

I'm going to speculate that a "incentivised" takeover of Intel by TSMC may be the motive.

Precisely. This idea was thought up by someone that has no understanding of the PC board product manufacturing process.
The only people it'll effect are hobbyists and people doing repair. If we stuff the boards offshore, this tariff is ineffectual.

Who's going to buy chips in the U.S. that isn't already stuffing them in boards in the U.S.?

Only people that need them for repair parts or hobbyists that are building projects.

It makes no sense.

Companies aren't going to buy ICs in the U.S. unless they are already loading them on PC boards in the U.S..
This might effect CPU chips for hobbyists or other ICs for hobbyists and a very small quantity of ICs used for repair purposes.

My company outsourced our PC board manufacturing decades ago and they're being bought in the foreign countries that are stuffing the PC boards.

Lipstick on a pig.
