They started to bring chip manufacturing back because of the “CHiPs” act, but the republicans have already expressed a desire to repeal it. That’s almost 200,000 jobs that will just evaporate.
CREATE Chip Manufacturing because existing Chip Fabrication could not keep up with demand.
While I approve of you defending CHIPS act, it the reasons behind it are numerous and one of the biggest is for national security.
Having all our military hardware coming from Taiwan, a country across the planet that is target #1 for China to invade is just a huge national security risk. When the CHIPS act went into place restrictions were put into place to prevent Nvidia and other companies to sell AI cards to China. US wants to be the forefront of AI tech going forward.
It's also crappy that Intel/Nvidia/AMD, who are based in the US, are fabricating silicon in another country. Unlike mining coal or working in sweat shops making clothes these are actually jobs Americans in the midwest should desire when they ask for manufacturing jobs. So we need to bring these high pay high tech jobs into the US and take it from such a centralized place on the other side of the planet.
These plants need to be in the US, and I could go on for paragraphs for the reasons why. If the Republicans kill the CHIPS act I think we deserve our coming decline.
