    China: we will cut off your treat supply you fucking piggies.

    Pelosi: that’s what we want to happen so we can build our own chip industry up.

    American people: uhhh so you’re just gonna let us suffer without treats for years while you do this?

    Pelosi: oh we’ll blame China and you’ll get so mad at those foreigners instead of me. Maybe we’ll get to have another excuse for more insane Military spending. Win win for the ghoul party :cia: :tofu-cool:

      that’s what we want to happen so we can build our own chip industry up.

      In 10 years we'll be talking about how we gave Intel and Nvidia billions and they never built one thing with it, just gave money to shareholders. Similar to how we talk about how the telecoms took billions to build fiber internet in the 90s but they just pocketed it instead.
