    Wrong, that’s not what he meant at all. There is zero chance leading nodes will be produced in the US within a decade. There is no talent in the US and they cannot convince the Taiwanese engineers to come here.

      Why’d they come? Aren’t US workers supposedly lazy and entitled because they have coffee breaks and go to the bathroom sometimes? Talk about a culture shock…

        US workers are not lazy but they are relatively uneducated and expensive, which is why other countries prefer not to use them

          They’re expensive because they prefer to enjoy one of the grand luxuries of modern lifestyles, often referred to as a “work-life balance”

          I’m sure those Taiwanese workers living in hostels with 12 hour shifts ought to educate themselves a little about that.

      No talent in the US? You know that Intel has it’s fabs in the US, right? Just a few years ago they were definitely the #1 fabs, and the way things are looking I would say they definitely have a shot at taking the crown back.

        The US graduates vastly fewer electrical engineers than any other comparably large nation. We are about equal to Iran. The idea of moving semi manufacturing here is about as likely as it going to Iran. I am sure you just assumed that the US is the best at everything (or even most things) and this is a shock to you but please look it up. It is a fact that the US is a third tier nation at best in engineering and it has been that way since the 80s
