A feud is heating up between Arizona workers and the world's leading chipmaker after the company claimed the US doesn't have the skills to build its new factory::TSMC wants to bring in foreign reinforcements to get its Arizona factory running because it claims there aren't enough qualified local workers.

Having worked a summer job as a clean room protocol inspector during construction of a clean room I saw that the vast majority of construction workers there didn’t give two shits about violating even the most important protocols and would I regularly be threatened with violence for enforcing them. The various contracting companies didn’t care enough to fire them.

American construction workers definitely have the skills, but they would have to work to find ones that are more disciplined than the ones I worked with.

Money. It's not just about skill, people don't give a shit because they have poor pay/working conditions/quality of life. This whole article is about not finding skill labor at the right price.
