And how much from display panels made in that Foxconn plant in Wisconsin that was started under Governor Scott Walker and Trump and suppose to be up and running by the end of 2020?
Wouldn't it just be easier to teach Trump how map projections work, so he doesn't think Greenland is HUGE?
Okay, re-reading that, I see the problem with that idea. Never mind. (sigh)
Maybe way more than one
Trump Administration Considers Stake In Intel
Didn't Republicans basically lose their collective minds when Obama approved a loan for Solyndra, claiming the government shouldn't, "pick winners and losers," and in 2024, didn't Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) blast the Biden SBA saying, "“The levers of government should never be used to pick winners and losers based on political priorities." for expanding the Green Lending Initiative? Guess it's okay if the government is just going to buy into a company (presumably shares).
Ernst to Biden-Harris SBA: Stop Playing Politics, Picking Winners and Losers
Being a long-time reader of Questionable Content Google using the words Pint Size and AI together makes my ass twitch, and not in a good way.

Citing DOGE's own statistics will be like citing Trump's partisan BLS statistics, or believing Trump about his grades at Wharton, which he won't release and has threatened to sue Wharton if they're leaked -- 'cause if they were good, they'd be plastered everywhere... In any case, given their track record with accuracy and honesty, I'm dubious that DOGE numbers are correct, complete or encompass everything they should to be a meaningful measure of anything actual.
Sounds like one of those made-up job titles you see in those "what do you think" bits on theonion.com
Like Department of Government Efficiency, that probably ends up costing more, in funds and actual efficiency, than it "saves".
You mean they've not born that way?
Trump Calls Intel CEO a 'Success' After Demanding Resignation
How much $TRUMP coin did the guy buy?
I give it 80% chance the "user" was a malware developer.
Or developing similar, perhaps lower-quality, software
Last time I went to the movies I was thrown out for bringing my own food. My argument was that the concession stand prices are outrageous.
Besides, I haven't had a Bar-B-Que in a long time.
