Already made the mistake of reading this comic. Gonna leave that link blue.

Good call. Put a fence on the land they bought to prevent Trump from putting a fence on the land.

New Orleans doesn't have the voting power to do that. Orleans Parish was literally the only parish that went blue in that election.

They sued to get the rules changed because they said far more black students were being accepted than they thought deserving. They won. Now they're upset because the number of Asian students declined after admissions could no longer see to the applicant's race. Am I reading that right?

Yes. So far, the CHIPS Act has resulted in $6.6b in direct funding and an additional $5b in available loans for the AZ facility.

Perhaps unauthorized is a better word than counterfeit. The manufacturing process for CPUs often yields less than ideal chips. Perhaps they don't hit the clock speed they're supposed to, or maybe they consume too much power. Those chips are supposed to be discarded, but they often find their way to the black market. Sometimes those chips aren't even failures. If a fab overproduces, they're not just going to give Apple the extra chips. These are the things Apple worries about, and they view it as far less likely to happen if those chips are made in the US.

I should also point out that the CPU isn't the only chip that TSMC makes for Apple. Apple wants to make sure they're getting a cut of every replacement part that gets sold. You can't even swap screens on two brand new iPhones without Apple giving you a hard time.

Apple wants to cut down on counterfeiting. The US wants to prevent supply chain issues and reduce reliance on foreign chip production. The wiki article on the CHIPS Act is a pretty good overview: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHIPS_and_Science_Act

Well in the particular state in which she lived, New York, it is not public record.

The vast majority of states limit who has access to death certificates.

Cheap land and tax incentives to do so.
