    This is great! I thought there would be a chips LED recession. Sorry homeless people but you’re gonna have to wait another generation to try and get online to maybe buy a house someday far far away… and also some day far far away if you get my drift.

      It does not give them personal access as privately as they may want (although privacy is generally respected), but at least there are public libraries for the poor and homeless to use computers and connect to the internet. One of the many, many ways libraries are essential to a community, especially to the poor.

        No what I meant is that everyone is currently hellbent into having a recession so they can magically afford to buy a house. The recession was coming since China got cock blocked from purchasing EUV systems by the US government. This in turn means that the company making these machines and the companies hoping to use them…as well as their investments where going to bite the dust. However now Mr SuckmyVerga is investing in these new devices using the new machines from vendors not affected by the embargo. Which means that there won’t be a recession in chips. Probably. Maybe. I don’t know what you were talking about. But I was referring to us homeless who cannot afford to buy a home…which does include library homeless and currently here in Seattle popsicle homeless. Well I guess in most of the US actual homeless people are in libraries or popsicles. Those people suffer tremendously so don’t let my sarcastic cynicism fool you, my parents had food stamps and I had soggy cereal for breakfast plenty of time. I can’t believe anyone could survive being outside in the past couple of weeks without heating.
