-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's very interesting to compare TSMC's investments into Japan, which are coming online now, and this Arizona clusterfuck.
Reading between the lines, the Arizona deal was forced upon TSMC via the US and ROC governments and I highly doubt TSMC actually wants to be there.
I work for a multinational company that’s trying to nearshore some engineering work away from East Asia and into Eastern Europe. The official line is that they’re expanding the team, but the senior engineers aren’t stupid and know they’re being asked to train their replacements. Needless to say they’ve been stonewalling the process.
I expect this is also very much the case in TSMC as well. Even if you’re a rabid anti-communist, you’ll know that a tech transfer to the US loses Taiwan the only bargaining chip it has. Why would you play along?!
Yea, the CEO has expressed discontent even before anything happened and he constantly shit talks the plan lmao
Honestly, I'm pretty confident sending all these Taiwanese engineers to America is a massive net loss for TSMC...
