      Yeah, have a degree focused on chip making. There's going to be something like 50k jobs not filled and a lot are highly technical. Many STEMlords are not interested in a job that forces you into a cleanroom in a less than ideal location when they could code or do other jobs that are remote/ based in a large metro for as much or more

      US needs to heavily incentivize these programs in schools and find a way to raise pay for the positions if they ever hope to outcompete Taiwan

        This is the really bonkers part. Fabs use ridiculous amounts of water. Whoever thought that about-to-be-walloped-by-climate-change Arizona was a good spot is either insane or part of some sort of grift.

      Bombing Taiwan and evacuating their scientists is a good way to get your US plants up. It’s why they keep insisting china is about to go to war.
