*Today on Trump's orders NASA eliminated its Chief Scientist position.*

*And during the state of the union address Trump veered off the text
on his teleprompter to say that the CHIPS Act is a “/horrible,
horrible thing/” and he told House speaker Mike Johnson “/You should
get rid of the CHIP Act/”. That bill was passed by Congress last year,
thanks to the strong support of President Biden, and would funnel $50
billion to help rebuild the U.S. semiconductor industry so the US
would not be totally reliant on Taiwan to make the chips needed for AI
and just about everything else in a modern economy. *
*Trump says what we should do instead is dramatically increase the
tariff on Taiwan made chips (in other words virtually all chips) so
American manufacturers would have to pay more for them. Yes yes I
know, that doesn't make any sense, but that's what he wants and many
believe the real reason Trump doesn't like the CHIPS Act is that it
wouldn't have happened without Biden, and Trump hates Biden. Of course
Trump hates just about everybody, except Nazis and dictators, but
never mind.*

*Meanwhile in a recent speech Chinese leader Xi Jinping said "/China
must win the global Technology race and seize on scientific and
technological innovation/.” He emphasized the role of education in
building China into a “/science and techenology great power/” and
ordered the military to "/accelerate the development of qualitatively
new combat capabilities/.”*
