Top microchip makers are postponing their expansion into the U.S. and setting up shop in Israel and Russia due to equity caveats that are required for them to receive grants from the U.S. government.
The Biden administration promised earlier this year that they would be handing out $39 billion in grants to encourage semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S.
Shortly after the announcement however, Intel announced they would be holding off on their Columbus factory, while Samsung also delayed their facility in Texas.
Despite the billions in subsidies, two experts believe the tech companies' decision to back out of building manufacturing facilities in the U.S. stems from the diversity, equity and inclusion policy.
In an opinion piece for The Hill, CEO of Strive Asset Management Matt Cole and head of research at the company, Chris Nicholson, say the subsidies are so 'loaded with DEI that it can't move.'

Newspeak will make this a lie.
THANK GOD someone is pointing this crap out, as the Neocons are getting damn close to taking their Woke, DEI military into COMBAT against Russia, China or both. It’s time to get that crap out of our government, before it costs us our country - not to mention that it cost United Airlines 4 aircraft emergencies in ONE WEEK.
"When World War III broke out in a two front war against China and Russia, America expected it could mobilize a war footing much as it did during World War II. Unfortunately, environmental and DEI mandates made it impossible to build much needed munitions and equipment factories. America discovered they could not even build a single microchip."
DEI -= Destroy Everything Instantly
Brandon did this!
Feb 6, 2024 ... Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co announced plans in 2021 to build a $7 billion chip plant in Kumamoto in southern Japan’s Kyushu.
“Made with the Transvestite Label”
Hopefully this time next year, all of this will just feel like a bad dream.
DEI, the gift that keeps on giving, just like STD’s.
This is *not* an unintended consequence.
Maybe they could build in Florida where Governor DeSantis has eviscerated DEI mandates?

Stay away from United Airlines!
Out of control government is out of control.

That and the fact that we have far less industry to repurpose to war manufacturing. China alone makes 8 times as much steel as does the US and has over 200 times the shipbuilding capacity. If we get a full scale war with China, we are going to get into it with our pants down unless we get rid of Biden.
We do have far more vicious trannies though. I feel so safe.
Russia is now significantly outpacing us and the EU in defense manufacturing. The Chinese even more so.
“Unfortunately, environmental and DEI mandates made it impossible to build much needed munitions and equipment factories.”
A guy here mentioned the towing vehicle for the Patriot System, which is basically an oversized Hummer. So I looked it up and Wikipedia made a point of noting that it’s diesel engine (thank God) is EPA COMPLIANT.
Do we REALLY force that crap on military vehicles? Soot traps, full electronic control, and God knows what else. WTF is wrong with us?
“Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co announced plans in 2021 to build a $7 billion chip plant in Kumamoto in southern Japan’s Kyushu.”
Yep, TSMC was going to build a Microchip plant in Arizona - couldn’t find enough locals who could read, so they wanted to IMPORT their key workers from Taiwan - we said NOPE!
They’re gone...no Semiconductor Plant for Arizona.
