Samsung and Intel cancel plans to build advanced semiconductor plants in U.S.

'Biden's DEI rules are worse than HAMAS': Top microchip makers are postponing US expansion and instead expanding in dangerous Israel and Russia because American grants come with so many 'equity' caveats.
It also calls on chipmakers to 'increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.'
The two added: 'In short, the world’s best chipmakers are tired of being pawns in the CHIPS Act’s political games.
'They’ve quietly given up on America. Intel must know the coming grants are election-year stunts — mere statements of intent that will not be followed up.
They add: 'This is the stuff declining empires are made of. As America pursues national security by building a diverse workforce, China does it by building warships.
'Instead of solving the problem, the people in charge are trying to cover the problem up just long enough to win reelection.
'Don’t be fooled by the Biden administration’s upcoming weekend-at-Bernie’s act — the CHIPS Act is dead.'

Hard to make microchips in a Class 1 clean room when your forced to pay $25 per hour and your choice for new employees is between these two:

The Columbus Intel plant is still under construction, but it’s been delayed, not canceled.

Samsung had committed to the largest investment ever in US chip manufacturing. The facility was set to be built outside of Austin in Taylor, TX.
I hate these DEI woke shite heads, they are a cancer to all of humanity with their zero sum thinking.

Comprehending factual news versus opinion pieces is a skill set that everyone should learn.
In an opinion piece for The Hill,
Two experts believe the tech companies' decision to back out of building manufacturing facilities in the US stems from the diversity, equity and inclusion policy.

Can't says I blame them when the government is forcing you to hire the dumbest psychos possible as a certain percentage of your workforce and likely a certain percentage of your leadership. DEI is literally self inflicted rot.

That's a bit too positive a spin. We're pursuing national security by dividing our society into groups based on factors which have nothing to do with skills and then demanding they get skills-based jobs on those factors.

Not that it couldn't be true, but this is CNN level reporting.
Two historians also think Trump is literally Hitler.
Two biologists think women can have penises.
Two scientists say...

Good for Samsung, good for Intel, good for Russia.
The simple minded rubes that cheer on this Administration’s push for war and weaponization of the US dollar and economy are unknowingly cheering this country’s downfall. The Biden Administration foreign policy will be legendary in the long term damage done to the US.

Aside from the engineering, what special attributes are required to work in a facility that's making chips?

The TSMC chip factory build in Phoenix is a disaster. Too much third world construction practices. Disaster.

Chips act yall

Just another example of Pedo Joe and his DEI bullshite. It sucks for our National Security and the communities where those plants would have been located. And now the Libtard’s will call these companies racist because they won’t agree to follow the stupid DEI crap.
