@stux @GeriAQuin except it is fake news. People love to post because we are all outraged, but no one wants to confirm accuracy.

It seems that more and more of the reputable online media is using a paid subscription model. I get it, the bills need to be paid and advertising dollars are not what they used to be.
The trouble is, not everyone can pay to read. Consequently the media owned by ‘the right’ is the source for many.
What’s the answer?

With everything going on in the world right now, it’s more important than ever that the stories be told.

@unusual_whales A deal made by the #Biden admin. Don’t try to give any Creedence to the idea that it might be the failed negotiator and grifter, tfg because it wasn’t. CNBC first visited the fab in 2021, not long after TSMC broke ground. The company initially announced the plant would cost $12 billion and pump out 5-nanometer chips by the end of 2024. Three years later, that price tag has soared to $20 billion and full production is delayed until 2025. #uspol #FactsMatter
