..but at least a lot of their chips are made in the USA.
Intel, Google, Amazon, and Facebook!@@ Going to be the best voter fraud team ever assembled!
Geeze can’t you at least be happy for the people of Ohio,? Isn’t it better they be made here as opposed to China?
This is going to be good for the city of Columbus and the Buckeye State in general. I would think/hope a portion of the hiring would be from that area.
I live in California now, but I have good feelings for the City of Columbus, Ohio because that’s where I went to college back in the 70’s. Some of the most enjoyable years of my otherwise dull life.
They still need to sell potato chips with lame computer pun inspired names.
Blue Corn of Crunch, Multi-Graining, Fire Pepper Wall come to mind.
“Intel looking to import its moonbat voters from blue states into Ohio.”
That’s one way to look at it.
I choose to look at it differently, this is an excellent investment for the state of Ohio. When its up and running, our supply chain just got shortened.
Besides woke ideology is everywhere, not just on the West Coast, so Ohioans will have to fight that battle anyway.
Way to go Ohio.
3000 workers looking for a job in Columbus? Since Amazon flooded Central Ohio, everyone who wants a job is working.
Some companies are turning away orders because of no workers.
Plus - you cannot find a house for sale in the Columbus area.
It seems incongruous to demand companies build stuff in the USA and then trash them for actually doing it. Chips are gonna get made someplace.
This is a good thing. Somebody finally realized that having the vast majority of the world’s computer chips made within a stone’s throw of China or in China itself wasn’t very smart. I don’t know why some here are complaining, if we’re going to survive as a nation we have to actually manufacture something here. A nation of nothing but service workers can’t survive.
Spoke with a friend who is a programmer for an insurance co in downtown Columbus an hour ago.
All the top computer talent are being headhunted right now. People are getting emails and phone calls from various companies who are planning on moving in. 30 computer companies are moving in with Intel.
He is in his mid 50’s and is worn down with life and on the downslide of the job market.. He said he wished this happened 20 years ago.
One of my last assignments in the Army was managing an IT Section. (Mid ‘90’s) I’m no computer whiz, and mostly I managed my staff and had THEM get stuff done while I got them parts and hard/software that they needed, but we used a LOT of Intel products back then. And not just for ‘intel,’ *SMIRK*
Glad to see this happening for Ohio and glad to see Intel getting a clue and keeping manufacturing in America.
Little late isn’t it?
Wow! When’s the last time a fab was built outside the sunbelt?
