These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

    Which of those projects will be ready by the time China invades Taiwan in early 2025? And how will those factories absorb all the global orders for chips when they’re not ready?

    You are agreeing with me. Fabs are hard. Our people are stupid. Their people are smart. If their people are tied up in a war and dying, and their fabs are destroyed, and our fabs are half built and the Trump admin never holds them accountable and they take the money and run or fuck it up since there’s no oversight because DeReGuLaTiOn, how exactly does that make a difference as to whether the government is trying to build fabs? If they’re functionally not prepared to absorb the global demand created by WW3, then where will America get its chips? Electing Trump is literally a national security concern at this point.

      for one, there’s no guarantee. Trump should want to protect taiwan, as it’s a strategically convenient point of interest.

      well sort of, your argument is “well its hard and difficult so why should we ever try” my argument is “doing literally anything at all is going to be a better move.”

      yeah idk i think they would probably move to the US. The place where they are most likely to be able to fabricate again.

      you are unironically concern trolling with this post.
