Why are we so dependent on Taiwan for microchips? Why couldn’t these be manufactured elsewhere, in addition to Taiwan?
In: 1601
Because we decided to shutter all manufacturing in the US so Wall Street could maximize profits with cheap overseas labor. The industrialists put our people out of work and forced the vast majority of the once prosperous middle class into low wage service jobs thus gutting both the spirit of the nation as well as decimating our ability to produce anything at all. At this point we don’t even have a fraction of the required skilled labor to staff a single facility let alone be able to produce and manufacture the silicone wafers required to meet the country’s basic needs.
