  Yup, no joke, thinking about it made me stressed for the people who work there. Damn, must be hell on earth. Yikes. I’m ok with being an IT working from home. They can keep their jobs.

    Not much IT work without semiconductors, which is what Taiwan is known for producing en masse. A lot of these decisions to open new factories elsewhere are because of China’s constant threats to invade Taiwan.

  TSMC is likely opening new plants in the US for geopolitical reasons. I.e. they open a plant in the US and get some us domestic silicon manufacturing underway and the US gives them security guarantees.
