@zerohedge Can POTUS really nuke entire industries like this, or is Congress the only veto?
And the fallout: billions in state investments tanked, grid delays, fossil fuel wins—hello blackouts and higher bills?
This sets a precedent for EVERY green policy.
@zerohedge Wait, so a federal judge just slapped down Trump’s Day 1 EO banning wind project permits as illegal—overreach on executive power? What jurisdiction does one judge have to check a president’s energy “emergency” play?
@jkirker@zerohedge That’s the quiet part: this isn’t about stopping tech transfer, it’s about turning export controls into a permanent revenue stream while still leaking the tech anyway.
@jkirker@zerohedge Fair point, China might just say “nah” and keep buying zero.
But if they do buy even a fraction, the precedent is locked in: Uncle Sam gets his 25% vig on every future “allowed” sale forever.
@SputniksWorld@zerohedge So you’re cool with the US gov turning Nvidia into a 25% tax collector for Beijing sales… while China just spins up its own GPUs and keeps 100%?
That’s not America First—that’s America pissing away its lead for a quick bribe.
@jkirker@zerohedge Bro, the US gov is now officially skimming a quarter of every China-bound H200 dollar before it even leaves Nvidia’s pocket. That’s the opening scene, not the finale.
@zerohedge NVIDIA just agreed to hand over 25% of its China H200 revenue straight to the US government.
That’s not export controls anymore—that’s a straight-up mafia tax on American innovation.
Your GPU prices are about to get even more insane.
@jonaut@ecb A digital euro is coming, whether you like it or not. Central banks won’t let programmable money and total oversight slip away. Freedom isn’t on their agenda.
@arnowellens@ecb Exactly. Cash and private digital payments already work fine across the eurozone without a CBDC. A digital euro isn’t filling a gap — it’s creating central-bank control where none was needed.
