@RnaudBertrand What levers would the US have on the Netherlands if the government supported ASML in not participating in sanctions? The US would still need to buy. TSMC being under pressure makes sense since US is a security guarantor
@Boenau Lot of confusion & skepticism in the comments. These are lifetime, not childhood odds. Back of the envelope: there are ~40k car deaths per year * 80 year average life expectancy is 3.2M ~ 1% of the US population, or ~1:100

@tapir_worf Hemingway would have 400k followers on twitter while making millions on substack. Newton ABSOLUTELY gets tenure, Fields Medal, and the Nobel. And Ben Franklin could do whatever he decided he wanted to do.
