> I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Intel announced the delay to the next presidential election year.. The next presidential election is in 2028, not 2030

Election in 2028, next president takes office in 2029, realistically 2030 is the earliest the CHIPS act and staff could be rebuilt. The people overseeing the CHIPS act have mostly been fired or flagged for firing. Many of them were in their “probationary” period because they were recent hires. The CHIPS act can’t be instantly restarted when the next president takes office. It has to be rebuilt. It has basically been sabotaged.

  That's one of the most frustrating things about the wrecking ball far right administrations going through America and parts of Europe right now. They're causing damage that will take 5-10 years to fix, so even if we get more sane administrations, the public will complain "why aren't we seeing any improvements" because all they can accomplish at first is cleaning out the rubble. Worst of all, it could become cycle. Trump / DOGE is basically doing a wholesale cleanse of left-leaning public sector employees at all levels, replacing them with yes men and cronies. A new administration will have to revert that, meaning firing and hiring and training people yet again. And an administration after that might try do undo that. What a quagmire. In general it's a classic that left-leaning governments fix various policy and economic problems, which often carries big cost, which gets them voted out, and then the fruits of that labor are claimed by / wrongfully attributed to rightist administrations.

    If you look at recent American history you will see this pattern has roughly already played out. If a main part of your platform is that government sucks, you have no incentive to un-suckify it. Starve the beast.

      Meh, starve the beast is just another cliché of minds that want simple answers to complex issues. Life tariffs and Trump. He has no imagination. Anyway, government is the only thing that can stand up to the broligarchs and that's why Trump is doing is his best to destroy it. If you want a simple explanation for what's going on there it is.

    Yes, this is a very predictable failure mode of presidentialist governments.

  That's not what a "typo" is. A typo is a typing mistake, not a lack of knowledge or error in thinking.

    Appreciate your concern and pedantry - the typo was saying presidential election instead of administration. Believe it or not, I do know when the next election is.
