Is it just me, or did this behemoth get built in record time? Extremely impressive.

The CHIPs Act is a great piece of legislation.

  CHIPS and the Inflation Reduction Act are two of the most underrated domestic policy bills in recent American history. Conservative-driven contrarian politicking aren't doing the country any favors.

    As much as I dislike Biden from a leftist perspective, I must commend him for the inflation reduction act. Felt funny seeing a president actually, you know, improve the country

      Do you dislike him because he's a leftist or because you're a leftist?

        This is getting way off topic, but Biden is a centrist. The idea that he’s a lefty socialist is a political cudgel the right wing has swung at every Democratic prez candidate since 1988; it’s getting more traction in recent years as the media has been increasingly purchased by right wing billionaires. They called Obama a socialist even as he was praising Reagan and helping out the bankers who caused the 2008 economic meltdown. Everything I’m saying here is a documented. Biden has been in public service since 1973; look up his Senate voting record. Look up the ownership and political stances thereof for any given traditional media outlet; newspapers, websites, etc. “Biden is a lefty” is a false, lazy canard.

        That is correct.

    Off topic: the Biden administration also made a commitment to passenger rail, including high-speed rail, something the rest of the world has had for years. Unfortunately, the incoming administration will most likely kill all this. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/12/08/fact-sheet-president-biden-announces-billions-to-deliver-world-class-high-speed-rail-and-launch-new-passenger-rail-corridors-across-the-country/ https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases...
