>The Commerce Department announced plans to prioritize “underrepresented” business owners, including women and racial minorities, when distributing $50 billion in federal funding for the semiconductor industry provided by the recent CHIPS act.
>The move, which designates “underrepresented” business owners as those who are racial minorities, women, veterans or located in rural areas, is part of a broader strategy to “leverage collaborations to build out semiconductor ecosystems,” and “create inclusive and broadly shared opportunities for business,” according to the Commerce Department’s strategy report. Establishing a “resilient” domestic supply chain is “critical” to both the military and economic goals of the U.S., particularly by freeing the U.S. from reliance on an increasingly hostile China, according to the Commerce Department.
>“The legislation authorizes investments to expand the geographic and institutional diversity of research institutions and the students and researchers they serve, including new initiatives to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other minority-serving institutions, and other academic institutions providing opportunities to historically-underserved students and communities, primarily through the National Science Foundation (NSF),” according to a White House fact sheet.
>Companies will also need to demonstrate the “spillover benefits” they would provide to their community, such as housing, environmental, training programs and partnerships with other organizations and states to build “regional ecosystems,” according to the Commerce Department. Proposals to acquire funding must also support “workforce training” programs that train workers for jobs that are either unionized or offer wages higher than the local prevailing wage in order to be prioritized, the Commerce Department stated.
>Proposals will also be preferred if they include “targeted” outreach to “women, people of color, workers in rural areas, and veterans,” according to the Commerce Department. This outreach could include a variety of support packages, including child care, language support, training, transportation, and high-speed internet.
>The Commerce Department believes that incentives and programs of this nature are “key” to secure talent in the semiconductor industry.

This is why they've gone heavy recruiting staff for the IRS. Eventually people are just going to stop paying taxes when they realise they receive nothing in return.

Yeah... I think they've given up on trying to fix the economy. But saying they gave up isn't proper.. because they trashed it and never considered trying to correct it.
They continue to fuck it up even further. This is what the boneheaded public voted for. A self sabotaging maniacal political party. I guess we'll see just how stupid the public is in the next election. Any sane person with an above retard level intellect would know to stop sticking their hand in an open flame.

The reading list is more about controlling your will and awareness with focus than pretending magic is real in a Harry Potter sense, nigger.
