>NOOOO WE NEED OUR CHINESE SWEATSHOP LABOR NOOOO
It's so goofy, considering things are already outrageously expensive. How much does it cost to make an iPhone? Like $10? Then they get sold at 10,000 percent higher for literally no reason. If we're going to pay a shit ton of money for amenities, I'd prefer the workers to actually be American.

Let's check in on how that CHIPS act reshoring of computer chip production is going.

yeah, CHIPS is hilarious because it was half of the regime going "uhhhh guys we need to maybe .. do something" and the other going "NAH WERE JUST GONNA GRIFT THIS"

In the end, it's mainly about moving production of critical War Material out of the enemy's base camp. It has nothing to do with helping American workers. If they could get away with importing 100% of the workforce from Taiwan they would do it, but they hired some office workers and nigger janitors to appease the local population and shipped in Gooks for all the good jobs.

yes, but what's hilarious is that they couldn't even get that done.

In the case of the TSMC plant, it is actually operating, so at least when war with China comes, the MIC can still make fancy weapons. I think most of the rest of the CHIPS money was just flat out stolen.

I don't think any plant has actually been *started being built* from CHIPS money

I checked. The TSMC plant is the only one that received CHIPS money that has reached production. The rest are still milking as much as possible from the allocations as they drag their feet with construction. The list is longer, but the rest are smaller amounts and none have resulted in actual production.
