Hey! Hey! It's the sixties again. Robert Strange McNamara is long gone, but we got a new "strange" to replay the old play again! Yeah, team.

Given that Beijing Biden is there, what could possibly go wrong?

Gathering money where it may be found!

Taiwan is trying. TSMC is discovering there is an acute shortage of cannabis-free American workers who can show up on time and get anything done. They are going to end up bringing their own Taiwanese employees over in large numbers to operate the new plant in Phoenix.
