TSMC is delaying its Arizona foundry over a lack of skilled workers alongsde a $5.85B income slump

In this case, it's not a lack of engineers. Taiwan leadership burned through their staff too quickly.

I've run into that a lot (mostly with India, but I'd assume it's Eastern society as a whole). Leadership isn't used to being questioned. There's a very clear hierarchy that must be respected at all costs. I think it comes from the caste systems possibly. When US engineers roll in and propose changes, they're dealt with swiftly and brutally.

(If you want to get philosophical about the culture difference, it's why the US comes up with big ideas, and why Asia is so much better at execution).

There's just an expectation that workers march in lockstep to the death, and US workers simply, culturally, are not like that. Especially not when they have valuable skills they can get paid for somewhere else.

Go look at Glassdoor for TSMC, it's not a pretty picture.

The US has enough engineers...no one wants to pay for them or put up with their whining.

Lol...wtf is this trash article...Netflix is struggling to survive. Bullshit, they made 12B profit last year.

The article makes it out like all the big players are at a loss...they're not...they brining in Bs in profit.

The price hikes are greed, and of course the consumers will pay it.

AOC and the Squad’s List of Left-Wing Accomplishments Is Quite Long

Uh...Did you actually read the article before you posted it?

Her capstone work so far has been moving 5 million dollars in a budget of 3T. That's really it...the rest of the article is fluffy feel good conjecture.

I like AoC, but pretending the progressives are getting things done is not helping. We're in dire need of change and the R's / Conservative D's have a stranglehold on making it not happen.
