“I’ve never been on a job site like this. A job site this big with this many people, you have to be super safe, everything kind of has to slow down because you’re always in somebody’s way"

Sound like bull s**t.

(blaming a lack of skilled labor)

Just as long as we don’t use Americans.

That would make John McCain happy (posthumously).

[DIRTYSECRET]

Just look at the American auto industry.

This policy is one thing the dems got right. We need to make more of these chips on US soil. Taiwanese safety cannot be guaranteed and losing these chips would cripple our economy. We need to make them here.

a lack of knowledge by bosses from Taiwan on adhering to safety codes and regulations in the US.

Right - so the Taiwanese, who lead the world in chip manufacture, don't know how to get through the endless, useless maze of US bureaucracy and regulation, and this guy is claiming it's a "them" problem. Lame.

“We would not listen to them.”

[Da Coyote]

Option 1: Do it the way that the most successful chip producers on earth do it.
Option2: Do it the way that loser government bureaucrats (who would NEVER be hired by any tech company) want us to do it.
What a dilemma. What’s a clueless lib arts major leftist DemocRAT to do?

They took Fedzilla’s cash. They can train & hire Americans.

[Iron Munro]

Sounds like a typical project where the feral government is involved

Poor plan based on agenda driven wishful thinking

Lack of foresight (i.e.: lack of skilled labor)

Poor execution and control

Over budget and behind schedule

Hidden cost over-runs - money just seems to disappear

Little or no accountability

Awards and bonuses for the incompetent

Taiwanese companies aren’t required to employ unions with 20% diversity hires.

Chinese line man workers. Hardly any safety equipment.
Scary.

"Biden signed the Chips and Science Act, which includes $52.7bn in loans, grants and other incentives, and billions more in tax credits for manufacturers to produce the chips in the US, in August 2022.

The Arizona project is the flagship in the president’s efforts to tout the law’s effects and TSMC’s promised $40bn investment in US chip production plant is one of the largest foreign investments in US history and the largest ever in Arizona."

Another Bai Dung plan gone wrong.
