OT *** everything is unsustainable and we're doomed. " The University of Michigan said its reading on confidence dropped sharply to 76.9 so far this month from 89.1 in August, according to sources who saw the subscription-only report.

That was lower than the reading after the September 11, 2001, attacks on U.S. cities, but comparable to that seen following Hurricane Andrew in 1992."

BWAC, or.....it could mean that it is overtly cheaper to
manufacture older technology chips and the demand model for certain legacy products doesn't require newer technology.
That gives credibility to the idea that older technology
fabs, with fully paid for and depreciated equipment, are
making good profit margins because their overhead and
operating costs are lowered, and demand for their products
is UP! BB
