How many American citizens work for this company?
silica is everywhere...
I know….I was kidding.
Might be a good time to buy some stock in Corning. They’d certainly be in position to supply refined silica. Even flat stock by the mile.
I’m afraid I don’t know that history of the company. I would bet that Simplot wanted to invest in jobs and tech, here.
The current CEO seems to just want jobs for his family.
Don’t worry... AOC will have the place unionized before the first chip touched the dip. Micro will close the plant and move the operations to Gudelahara leaving Uncle Sugar holding the bag.
So we subsidized it. Nancybucks.
Silica suitable for conversion to silicon computer chips is *not* everywhere.
Here's one of them.
NY has pretty good tax incentives on the company side for relocating there. They just stick it to the workers with property taxes and income taxes to make up the difference.
NY has also been trying to get Chip technology companies to relocate in the state for years. They have a number of public/private partnerships to do just that. Global Foundries has a number of chip making plants they took over from IBM in the state.
It's funny that in a high tax state they think nothing of providing almost tax free status for a corporation to relocate to their state, but heaven forbid that you should lower taxes so your citizens could enjoy a better lifestyle.
Gee, if it is anything like the “Film Hub” “LED Factory” “Gig Center” and the rest of Prince Andrew’s con game “projects” more cash will find their way into the “special accounts” of the Gatekeepers than will go into the project.
Just an educated note here, Corning sold off most of its consumer business to World Kitchen, who still makes Corelle, Pyrex and other consumer goods. Steuben Glass (fine Crystal) went OOB due to the plandemic, Corning has been in very high tech operations for many years, diesel emissions equipment, refined silica, and on and on. They really bounced back after Agnes in 1972 almost wiped them out. They are a great company and are thriving in Corning and Oneonta.
I believe it is the current vernacular for a manufactory facility.
Silicon chip fabrication. See the link I put up earlier in the thread.
Years ago I worked for the ad agency in Boise that handled Simplot’s Food and Mineral divisions’ accounts. Simplot also had just started Micron, which grew pretty fast. I was just curious whether Micron was still under the Simplot umbrella or had been spun off. At the time Simplot was one of the largest privately-owned companies in the country. If they still run Micron it appears they’ve metastasized since then.
