“what”
This was our attempt to get Taiwan to locate a top-end Chip-producing facility on US soil.
The US labor unions simply DO NOT have the level of skill required to build the facility (I wonder why, LOL), so Taiwan figured they better send over a bunch of people who could read, and they did.
Then the Unions bitched and effectively shut down the project.
So now the plant will be built in Mexico, where they know how to properly deal with unions.
