@Jolly took you long enough, loser.

I recently learned the actor in the right is Chris Pine’s father.

I remember CHiPS. That's the show that taught me how really, really boring wholesome could be.

[George K]

@Catseye3 you're not enough to remember Father Knows Best, I assume.

Some of us have a life.

It's a good idea to be independent with regard to key industries. Or at least only rely on "friendly" countries. I wish we had a similar strategy of independence, but I'm not sure we learned our lesson from the Russian gas fiasco.

When the shit hits the fan with regard to Taiwan it's too late.

I think the biggest challenge will be to make sure that we have the designers, engineers, and technicians to operate these new plant.s

[Axtremus]

The USA have close to 13 times the population of Taiwan. For sure we have the headcount to do what Taiwan does. It comes down to attitude of the population -- a lot more people and the political system have to value STEM more highly than they do now.

It's a capitalist economy.

Get the damn CRT and federal government out of the schools, wave money around and/or offer training at the corporate level and your problems will solve themselves as far as worker quality is concerned.

You cannot even get your fact straight. CRT has never been in public schools, and the schools get to decide whether they want the federal government it them. Many schools make the wrong choices themselves, choosing quackery instead of science -- e.g., the "intelligent design" movement with the religious lot objecting to teaching the theory of evolution. That's the sort of anti-science shenanigans that will while your biology and medical sciences back for a generation.

You are a damned idiot. No, excuse me, you are a goddamned idiot. In fact, on this subject, you give idiots a bad name.

Go back to your Cheetos and porn.

If you are incapable of defining CRT, you are also incapable of making coherent claims about whether it is or is not taught in public schools.
