Mark Liu, Chairman of TSMC, the Taiwanese company leading the world in advanced chip production. told Sixty Minutes America has lost the ability to manufacture highly technical electronics because it abandoned STEM education, and lacks advanced manufacturing engineering skills.

America cannot build and maintain the manufacturing environments, let alone the designs. They have outsourced everything to Asian countries to be closer to the manufacturing points.

In other words -- America's work force is too stupid to contribute anymore.

Tech Bro CEO lays off 900 people in Zoom call and makes himself the victim

Re: total crap

Being a " free lance " or " contractor " by choice is a crock of shitte. It essentially means you are unable to maintain a full-time.job and meet expectations .

A contractor makes less, has no benefits, no PTO no sick time, ,no bonus , no raises , no profit sharing or right to file patients. In other words you are ..at best .. a second class citizen.

The only role.a contractor should have is taking their money while looking for a full time position . That is exactly what a corporation is doing to you. ... and in the end you are nothing more than a hooker left behind in a cheap motel..

Heavy Trump-voting counties have 'more than three times higher' Covid rate than Biden counties: report

Counties that voted heavily for former President Donald Trump in 2020 have more than triple the infection rate for Covid-19 compared to counties that voted heavily for President Joe Biden, according to a new review of data.

The New York Times reported on Monday that infections in pro-Trump counties are quickly escalating past the levels seen in Biden counties.

As the report noted, red and blue areas of the country saw similar infection rates at the end of 2020.

"There simply was not a strong partisan pattern to Covid during the first year that it was circulating in the U.S.," the Times said.

But that all changed as Americans were given access to Covid-19 vaccines.

"They proved so powerful, and the partisan attitudes toward them so different, that a gap in Covid's death toll quickly emerged," Times columnist David Leonhardt wrote. "The gap in Covid's death toll between red and blue America has grown faster over the past month than at any previous point."

The report found that by October of this year, the infection rate in counties that heavily voted for Trump are "more than three times higher than the rate in heavily Biden counties."

"This situation is a tragedy, in which irrational fears about vaccine side effects have overwhelmed rational fears about a deadly virus. It stems from disinformation — promoted by right-wing media, like Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, the Sinclair Broadcast Group and online sources — that preys on the distrust that results from stagnant living standards," Leonhardt concluded.
