Solid positive news! 

And for all of USA, not just one side.....

yep     the article goes on to outline  factors which may or may not impact that positive news      all manner of things can happen     including future cyber attacks , OPEC moves , a deadlier new covid mutation   and even war

Biden administration to invest $1 billion to boost competition in meat processing industry and lower consumer prices.

anything that boosts competition will help lower meat prices   

im all for that

Good news     

Texas Gov. Begs Joe Biden For Federal Help With COVID Testing and Treatments As Cases Surge

HUFFPOST -

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) requested assistance from the federal government for coronavirus testing sites, additional medical personnel and monoclonal antibody treatments as the rapidly spreading omicron variant causes an increase in cases and hospitalizations in his state.

“Detecting COVID-19 and preventing COVID-related hospitalizations are critical to our fight against this virus,” Abbott said in a statement Friday.

“Begs”  Have to love the media 

@fubah2

 Fupa my man, whats crackin home slice!?!?  Man I missed you guys, I felt sorry for you and Kelly here over the past two holidays....I mean you two being the only posters here on Christmas Day.  Thanksgiving at least there is some action going on in the Football forums 

 Well it's good to be back and Happy New year to you Foops.... I look forward to your valuable insight, knowledge and contributions you make to this forum day after day after day  

WHY DO WE NOT WANT TO TREAT PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK???  ASK YOURSELF THIS???  

Why would the Federal government RESTRICT monoclonal antibody treatments in TEXAS AND FLORIDA???  

If you don't know the answer to this then you shouldn't be talking about politics.  The government is once again sacrificing the TREATMENT of sick Americans for political gain....  and yeah, that's a surprise, that's never been done before 

Monoclonal antibody treatments 

i figured that thiswas only a matter of time

same for ky with the  tornadoes

If this will help then I'm all for it as well.   But it remains to be seen before I'll give the thumbs up. 

@baish2012

 news flash....IT WON'T HELP.... this is similar to the gas situation when everyone praised President Poopy Pants for tapping barely a month's supply of the strategic oil reserves as a move to lower gas prices. That was a joke just as this is a joke.  

 the same clown show praising how that would lower gas prices is doing the same here with just another industry.  The meat industry is just like every other in America, it is a CARTEL.... the sheeple here just take whatever is given to them and don't question or look into the reality of the world themselves.  If they did, they would know it is part of the GOVERNMENT'S responsibility to regulate fair markets.  Meat industry is just anther Cartel comprised of a handful of powerful players.  Regulate their asses and create some REAL change.  

The meat industry will tell you it's because of labor or some BS and that their prices are higher so they must sell for higher.  That is absolute BS as those same companies are setting RECORD profit margins.  

Inflation is a real thing but you know what else is real?  The fact that every corporate sector of American business (except Finance) have posted RECORD, RECORD PROFIT MARGINS these last 2 quarters.... you don't hear about that though huh do ya.  

can't hurt though

can't hurt though

There's the KellyBot again with the automatic double posting algorithm that attempts to cover up any post that includes rational thought, facts and common sense.... 

CNN Business -

The bill would provide billions in funding for manufacturing and R&D grants, invest heavily in advanced manufacturing and semiconductor research, establish public-private partnerships focused on the development of advanced microelectronics, and secure supply chains.

Today, for many US companies, it's simply not financially competitive to produce semiconductors domestically. Chipmakers can face more than a 30% cost disadvantage when making semiconductors in the US instead of Asia. This has driven a steady decline in America's share of global semiconductor manufacturing, which has dropped from 37% in 1990 to 12% in 2020. Europe's share has dropped from 44% to just 9% in the same time frame. Without government action, we cannot reach our ultimate goal of a globally balanced silicon capacity and a resilient supply chain -- which is significantly driving inflation here.

So far, this bill has secured strong bipartisan support in the Senate.

CNN Business -

By design, the CHIPS for America Act incentivizes semiconductor companies to make major investments in the US economy and jobs. Combined public and private sector investment would substantially expand US chip production and open the door to thousands of jobs in construction, manufacturing and R&D. For example, research shows that each job at Intel is estimated to support 13 additional American jobs. Building one semiconductor manufacturing mega site is akin to building a small city, which brings forth a vibrant community of supporting services and suppliers.

This can only help

It's been quite first year for the Joe Biden presidency.

After whupping the twice-impeached trump by gaining a record number of votes...

- immediately hit the ground running with "Operation Ludicrous Speed".... got the vaccines [specifically engineered only to combat the then dominant Wuhan-Strain of covid] mass produced, distributed and injected at incredible speed, saving hundreds of thousands of American lives!

Yes indeed Fupa....quite a first year for sure 

The semiconductor issue is surprisingly bigger than 99% of our people realize.

We have to get these produced here.  We can't be relying on overseas supply chains for this critical product.
