Perhaps we should be making computer chips here...
Because things are going so swimmingly right now.
Brandon supports Chinese control.
Absolutely.
RE: Perhaps we should be making computer chips here...
Not with our tax system and more government control...
Maybe they already do, that’s why we are having supply chain problems with chips and all the scuttlebutt about tensions between China and the US over Taiwan is just so much fake news buffoonery.
Oh BS. Chips can be made anywhere. There would only be a temporary disruption.
Who would have thought that we’d get into a world war with China over computer chips?
I grew up thinking the next world war was going to be over middle east oil.
“Perhaps we should be making computer chips here...”
The irrational regime deems rationality to be racist.
Chips are not like oil wells. A war/takeover would probably damage highly sensitive equipment, which couldn’t be replaced easily , supply chains for the chip manufacturing would also break, and they would immediately lose the human-intellectual capital to run the operations
TSMC has started building a fab in AZ.
After TSMC, all of Intel’s fabs are in the USA other that one in Israel
It seems like businesses can do some really stupid things. Putting all production in one place is an example.
In 2011 40% of the world’s hard drive production was in one area of Thailand. Then came a flood and predictable shortage.
It seems like chip makers would have learned and put production in Asia, Europe and the Americas. But no, they had to put it in the most vulnerable place on earth.
Next March. Or perhaps April at the latest.
Biden will allow it to happen.
Afghanistan was just a warm up for the really bad stuff that is to come.
Not with our tax system and more government control...

Government control = Socialism.
It’s what we are now. A socialist kleptocracy.
“Clarifying that the president who said otherwise “was not announcing any change in our policy,” a spokesperson reinforced U.S. commitment to the Taiwan Relations Act, a Carter-era treaty that eliminated the United States’ commitment to defend Taiwan.”
Taiwan Relations Act us a law, not a treaty.
It was enacted in 1979 because Jimmy Carter quit the mutual defense treaty we had with Taiwan.
It seems to me that if Taiwan were absolutely willing and prepared to destroy every bit of their chip production capacity in the event of Chinese invasion, it would remove a lot of the incentive to invade.

I believe Taiwan Semi is siting a huge foundry in Arizona, but how soon it will be on line is the question.
