Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Why would a chip maker spend billions to open a plant in the socialist litigious states of America?

"to revive US chip-making"

100% tariff on foreign chips. Laws requiring that chips be manufactured inside the U.S. by American owned companies employing American citizens.

Ditto for every critical and essential product we use. We are at a huge risk of our foreign suppliers cutting us off when we need those products and goods the most. History is replete with examples of countries losing a war or battle because of lack of critical supplies. Our dependence on China is a trap that will destroy us.

" The Decline Of Western Christianity: Gradually Then Suddenly" For some reason the various denominations can't figure out why their numbers are dropping. The leaders have pulled away from the belief system of Christians and following the Bible so it doesn't seem like a Christian church anymore. Look what has happened to the culture in this country with the decline of Christianity, the culture is degrading at astonishing speed. Just the last three years the degrading of children with the attempted forced acceptance to make the perversion normal shows just some results.
