  • When I was a kid : no, nothing that I remembered

    However I’ve worked in school, working with kid at diner time, etc. One day my « manager » come see me and say « hey, tribble, it’s seems that you don’t clean behind yourself when you use a room » (which wasn’t true but turn out that a teacher was angry at me because I’ve cut some paper at his chair). Fine I’ll be careful, etc, etc. Months later a teacher confiscated a toy to one of my group’s kid and locked it in his desk (the toy was one of mine and come from my budget), the teacher acted outside of his hours. I go asked the toy back, not to give it to the kid but to put it back where it go, teacher say « I’ll do it when I’m finished » ok no problem, bye good night.

    Weeks later my manager ask me to see her in her office « Tribbles we have complaint about you … yada yada yada »

    There’s 3 or 4 pages of complaints on me, first time I heard most of them but there’s the paper one blow out of proportion at the point that’s is laughable and the toy’s story where the professor alleged that I nearly menaced her. That was so unbelievable, they were so enfantine about it.

    The toy was a finger skate 🛹

















  • They build their manufacturing industries since the 1970, they saw an opportunity and position themselves as the « avant guards » for that problem. In short they have decades in advance from everyone. Now someone could build a factory but they will not be able to ever compete against Taiwan.

    China always said that Taiwan is their, Trumps wanting to bring back chips manufacturing to the US is laughable at best 1. Doing so will need a huge influx in capital 2. Running the new factories will be impossible/cost effective (read minimal cost) as the Taiwanese do (you know regulations and such) 3. Training employees will be a fucking pain. Now since China always had eyes on Taiwan, the American faltering presence will give them the perfect opportunity to attack or soft conquer it.

    In conclusion if Trumps’s bid works and chips industries happen in America = the price of computer go up for poorer products for decades to come
