Pressure was put on TSMC to hire US workers, even though there were very few US workers qualified to build and operate the plants. Government industrial policies often result in paying more for less.
I just watched a video where the watchlist was referenced. Since I hadn't paid much attention to him before, I may be influenced by some post-death whitewashing.
Hollywood star or celebrity (Robin Williams seemed to have been a favorite) took time out of their schedule and ‘outside the glare of the spotlights’, carried out some profoundly charitable action.
I've encountered such "just so" stories on YouTube. Recently, there's been a spate of AI-narrated videos on the Axis prisoners of war experiences in POW camps in the U.S. during and after WWII.
I hadn't paid much attention to Charlie Kirk. While I didn't agree with many of his ideas and policies, he seemed to be an open and honest advocate for them. He appeared to be all in on freedom of speech, unlike the many freedom of speech hypocrites on the Right.
I've been seeing stories of people using local electric grids being overwhelmed because someone set up an AI (LLM) data center in the area. They are incredible users of electricity.

It usually provides links to its sources. I'll have to add a source links requirement to the prompt.
Bubble or not, the current LLMs and other types of "AI" will have a massive impact even if development hits a wall.

Besides being a general warmonger, he was a primary cheerleader for the Iraq War. About a year before the US entered Iraq, he wanted to go to war with Cuba for WMDs they didn't have. He stood for about everything bad in Bush's foreign policy.
It's hard to have much sympathy for John Bolton. After his role in the Bush administration, he should have been pushed into obscurity and never heard from again.
And yet, you have somehow absorbed his talking points and have brought them here to share with all of us.
He can't be wrong about everything all the time... :)

This is a mad Vance trope.
I don't listen to Vance and care very little about anything he has to say. Here's hoping that in 2028, there are better candidates for president than Vance and the possible Republican and Democratic candidates I know about. PA recently did tens of millions of pounds worth of damage when they broke into an RAF base and sprayed gallons of paint on planes and into their engines.

Is there a playbook for this, because it’s the same tired thing I’ve seen too many times?
There are activists on the left bringing books into schools that are, at best, not age-appropriate or shouldn't be in schools at all. Then there are the idiots on the right who want to ban any book that slightly offends them.
ICE is currently arresting tens of thousands of people a month. Perhaps they are all extraordinary.
You're right. I was thinking about free speech problems in the UK.
The ICE is arresting and deporting far too many low-priority illegal immigrants. The UK is arresting and deporting far too few high-priority ones. Trump promised to deport criminals. Then set quotas so high that ICE and other LE started grabbing anyone they could lay their hands on.
Hopefully, future presidents will be averse to doing anything that can be called Trump-like.
