What if I told you things can have multiple factors? Crypto mining is responsible for the GPU shortages, but there's more to silicon than GPUs. Companies like Microsoft, Zoom, etc. were responsible for absolutely huge amounts of silicon in the past two years as they added ridiculous amounts of server capacity to facilitate their work from home software. It was also impossible to find new CPUs for a long time last year because of people upgrading their home computers.



I agree with the multiple factor statement. Somewhat off topic, but a good read. https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-cryptocurrency-servers-20180717-story.html?_amp=true

I only responded in your fashion. You had nothing but an opinionated view to say something’s a Republican lie. Simply you provided nothing.

No worries if you didn't like the answer and refused to acknowledge it.

About 26 million Federal acres were under lease to oil and gas developers at the end of FY 2018. Of that, about 12.8 million acres are producing oil and gas in economic quantities.


3 years ago less than half of leased land was used. That's from the Bureau of Land Management https://www.blm.gov/programs/energy-and-minerals/oil-and-gas/about

Here's an article from 6 days ago about how Biden has leased more land to oil and gas than donald did

“But whereas Biden’s campaign promise applied to selling new leases for drilling and mining, permits are issued for leases already sold, mostly under previous administrations.”

You're ridiculous. The BBB is massively popular even in the states of the people holding up the bill (Manchin and Sinema). Democratic "moderates" are corporatist goons actively undermining the will of the electorate. In Manchin's case it's because his family business directly benefits from it, and in Sinema's case she's gotten over a million dollars from pharma for the direct purpose of killing drug price negotiation.

His priorities are directly in line with the American center and you are being a hack.


Indeed, his priorities are so in line with the American center that his support in the center is collapsing.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

Support for BBB closely matches Biden's own approval rating. A significant chunk of voters have no idea what's in it, including those who support/oppose the plan. As always, it's easy to poll select questions and get responses you like. If we listened to the progressive wing, we'd expect there was some risk that Manchin might be outflanked by a candidate more in line with, supposed, West Virginian values. And yet we all know that that's not the case, and that when Manchin does retire, his seat will be firmly in Republican hands for the foreseeable future.

His approval rating is tanking because he isn't passing BBB. They barely got anything through.

You're hilarious. Biden's proposals get cut to nothing and you say "They're governing so far left of center and that's why their losing!" when nothing left of center even got passed.

Hack.

Right, so they have even more permits to drill, almost like the right wing outrage is based off nothing :)

Media manipulation trying to put this as a good thing for Biden. When he literally had nothing to do with it.

“ Biden’s move was blunted in advance by not just a surge of more than three thousand applications for drilling permits just before he took office but by the fact that “the oil and gas industry has stockpiled millions of acres of leases on public lands and waters,” in the words of the Department of the Interior. As of March, more than half of the twenty-six million acres of federal lands leased to fossil fuel companies was sitting idle and not yet producing oil or gas, while the figure was nearly 80 percent for the twelve million acres of public waters.

And in any case, “older leases are responsible for most production and revenues on public land,” as the Center for American Progress explained in March. That report, ironically, defended Biden’s pause on the grounds that it wouldn’t do a whole lot to slow production and admonished the industry for “sitting idle” on, and “not creating any revenue or jobs” from, unused leased land they’d acquired from Trump’s mass sell-off of public lands.”

If you understand the over half of land is unused why are you complaining that they didn't get more?

That's an exceptionally brain-dead take. The supply chain disruptions were caused by Covid. Full stop. The stimulus checks were not what caused these issues. Covid interrupted production, shipping, and basically every facet of manufacturing. Computer ship shortages were caused by increased demand for at-home telecomputing power both in the form of individuals buying computers and companies buying server space and a draught in Taiwan resulting in lower manufacturing.

The economy Trump handed Biden was in shambles and experiencing every problem it is currently experiencing. The only thing you can really pin on Biden economically is that he didn't fix the entire world's supply chain in his first year.


However brain-dead you think I am, how in the ever loving fuck can you defend shoop's statement, other than, he's on your team? That might be the stupidest and most obviously biased hot take I've heard all year.

The response is not caused by a disease. It's caused by the government response to a disease.

Trump's economy was extremely healthy. What numbers are you even looking at? Other than the obvious blue goggles.
