Washington in Talks With Chipmakers About Building US Factories
I hope this plays out well. We need to reduce out dependency on the CCP and bring back the middle class like Henry Ford did.

We make the hyper pure Polysilicon needed for those chips. I'm sure my company would love the added business since solar isn't paying well.

Everybody wants manufacturing brought back from China. Nobody will want to pay the much higher prices for everything if that happens.

I'm all for more manufacturing here, but it will come with costs that people will bitch and moan about paying. It's like people who bitch about no legroom on airplanes when they shop for the cheapest ticket possible. |

So a chip costs a buck to make in China, now to get it out the door and loaded to a plane or freighter.....arrival in California most likely, unload the shipment and get it loaded to shipper to customer door.....
total cost of that chip by time it's at customer door....probably $2.50 now I would guess it would cost say 3 bux to make it here, and ship to customer's door..... so ASSuming our .gov agencies don't rip hell out of company expenses....by adding taxes up the ass, etc or at least make them equal to any import chips.....that final cost differential maybe 50 cents/chip..... so add that onto the cost of your Dell computer......so maybe 20 bucks....woopie doo..... |

in other words, quit levying stupid taxes on every damn thing the company does......50 billion/year on the property/etc...... tax enough on the income of the workers, to be same as anyone else in the region doing similar enough work.....even if they make more bux than a store clerk, don't need to tax them at 50%...... |

over the years of business I've seen numerous shortages of "chip" such as memory or more critical foundry space and factories. EPA would have to waive a hell of a lot of specs to allow a full scale cost effective foundry here

You have a point. Wonder why India hasn’t picked up a lot of this cheap labor manufacturing? I’ve got to think it’s all about resources, which China has in spades.

There are no workers left in India. They're all over here, ****ing up computer systems left, right and center.
