You act like the USA is 3rd world country. It is not yet. We have all that here now. Of course they won't work for 3rd world wages. So each wafer produced in AZ will cost 2 cents more.
No, we don’t have what TSMC produces. We can currently make slower chips, but not what TSMC makes.
Once again your mind reading and bitterness are wrong.
Why on earth have we allowed such a critical infrastructure to be so insecure? When capitalism, politicians, and communism intersect we get the greedy result that puts all of our security at risk.
That isn’t a knock on capitalism. We have been sold-out for decades. There is no “planned redundancy” in this industry.
"The Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will hang them with."
An EPA that was just boosted by 40 billion dollars according to a FR post on the “Inflation REduction Act” (that... isn’t) includes “enforcing environmental justice”... thus pumping up the stand in the way EPA for what would be fairly rapid shift or duplication of the plant to the US (employees, fully screened as to potential chi-com implant agents, which the Taiwanese presumably would be able to simplify.) On a second note recall that Covid-19 was intended for Taiwan infection pre-chi com invasion. Taiwan was hip to the chi-coms plans and... the virus.
