-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

When I'm bored I bait libs by telling them that as soon as the fabs in Arizona are spun up and producing at capacity the US will forget where Taiwan even is. Their denials give me strength.
considering all the problems they are having finding competent usians it could be a while
Yeah, have a degree focused on chip making. There's going to be something like 50k jobs not filled and a lot are highly technical. Many STEMlords are not interested in a job that forces you into a cleanroom in a less than ideal location when they could code or do other jobs that are remote/ based in a large metro for as much or more
US needs to heavily incentivize these programs in schools and find a way to raise pay for the positions if they ever hope to outcompete Taiwan
Is there any reason cleanrooms have to be in the middle of Nowhere, Arizona? Besides prices of course.
No
They are also picking a drought stricken area for fab chips, lmao
This is the really bonkers part. Fabs use ridiculous amounts of water. Whoever thought that about-to-be-walloped-by-climate-change Arizona was a good spot is either insane or part of some sort of grift.
Bombing Taiwan and evacuating their scientists is a good way to get your US plants up. It’s why they keep insisting china is about to go to war.
The only things the US is good at building are financial scams and skinner boxes. Any time they try to build something like a road or a factory, it costs a bazillion dollars and takes 10 years.
