“a network of highly specialized firms”

And the entire manufacturing ecosystem has been offshored, by all those in power, from all sides.

The facilities are gone. The jobs are gone. The knowledge is gone.

You’ve sold out.

Our PDJT started to bring it back.

That isn’t exactly correct.
90% of Intel’s fab capacity is in the USA as well as its design capacity.
TSMC, based in Taiwan is the biggest manufacturer in 5-7nm process and supplies most fabless companies.

Not sure who is #3 now.

Global Foundry managed to crash its entire company trying to make their 7nm process work.
It was never going to work at speed.

“The knowledge is gone.”


You are absolutely, 100% correct. It takes yrs to train/educate/coach/bringing up-to-speed even the production/manufacturing support employees (in semiconductor components, LSI, VLSI, etc etc) without further mentioning personnel for design, development phases, etc
