The Biden administration recently promised it will finally loosen the purse strings on $39 billion of CHIPS Act grants to encourage semiconductor fabrication in the U.S. But less than a week later, Intel announced that it’s putting the brakes on its Columbus factory. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has pushed back production at its second Arizona foundry. The remaining major chipmaker, Samsung, just delayed its first Texas fab.
This is not the way companies typically respond to multi-billion-dollar subsidies. So what explains chipmakers’ apparent ingratitude? In large part, frustration with DEI requirements embedded in the CHIPS Act.
Commentators have noted that CHIPS and Science Act money has been sluggish. What they haven’t noticed is that it’s because the CHIPS Act is so loaded with DEI pork that it can’t move.
DEI = Call it racist until you control it
“I made that.”
Karl Marx
no bill coming out of congress will do what it claims to do… Almost everything in that act gets in the way of it’s stated purpose.
Why would any company operate under rules that prevent them from hiring the brightest and the best? DEI is just plain stupid.
Free money?
So then the question becomes, does the free money exceed the opportunity cost of hiring useless bodies to satisfy the fascist requirements of democrats?
Obviously not or they would not be putting on the brakes.
Gee…I wonder if China has DEI? 😉
Naw. They just have plain old DIE for those who annoy the gubmint.
Israel has D and I but no E.
Because when you add E, everybody die…
Its remarkable how an existential threat can sharpen your community survival instincts just enough.
LOLs.. To make high end chips it is 100% necessary to discriminate every step of the way.. Otherwise it would be easy and everybody would be doing it..
No Chips? I need them every afternoon, eh? You can’t stop making chips. Especially Corn Chips, and Sweet Chili Heat.
This is Great News for Liberty.
More CHIPS = more Tyranny
End the digital era, go back to horses and smalltown living under GOD.
just saw this FL and basically as long as we keep medical advances, well WIND IT BACK BACK BACK because despite acing an IT career, *that* was because l hold fast to those ‘transferable skills’, a bent for precision, minimizing costs maximizing quality AND output, safety above else, quick with numbers, tolerance for physical adversity etc.
aka plop me in the middle of the industrial age yer godam right lm going to thrive.
ps l have LONG ago ‘done the math’ and cannot accept *any* explanation how life started other than an outside hand, a guiding VERY sentient personage.
with a plan.
my challenge to the evolutionists is this:
living organisms are constituents at the atomic level of protons.
10^E100 or thereabouts.
every
one
exactly
the
same.
so l confine THIS Q related to evolution, how How HOW did that ONE proton KNOW how to coalesce into organic elements, carbon nitrogen oxygen, calcium, trace elements,
in
just
the
right
sequence
and
qty
and
location
TO PULL IT OFF?
where? where does it ‘tuck’ that knowledge and capability? in the quarks? where?
uh, uh, uh, uh, says mr darwin. ‘it responds to da ‘viromint’ yup yup yup.
which consists solely and exclusively of OTHER PROTONS and the radiation they emit.
so, the ONLY concession l will make with this argument, is WHERE IS THE KNOWLEDGE AND CAPABILITY OF ALL PROTONS TO *INTERACT WITH OTHER OF ITS KIND* TO BRING LIFE???????
l really really wanna know but evil loo shun ists wont talk about it. dismissing the point as ‘irrelevant’ ‘faulty’ ‘misdirected’ ‘unacceptable’ you guys know the drill.
otoh if, If IF there is an overall governing Power behind it all, lemme close with this:
IT SURE EXPLAINS THE TRAJECTORY IN MY LIFE AND
THE COUNTLESS TIMES I DODGED CATASTROPHE.
put yer hand up if yer momma contracted polio in the hospital when you were born.
hmmm? beat that. how close call was THAT one??? minutes?? a matter of a few feet??
hmmm????? lm waiting . . . . . .
(all this tapped out to this enthralling tune:

(you can tell when the singer actually ‘buys into’ the theme of the music eh?)
and a note to y’all naysayers and 3rd generation muzzies, ANY of you make it ‘life or death’ ‘surrender or die (dei?)’. you makeada rooles? hokay. life er death it be.
now watch me TAKE AS MANY OF YOU WITH ME AS I CAN.
youve been warned.
my patience is great but FINITE.
God Bless the Nation and People of Israel!!!! THEY ARE THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE
When you hit us with large caps, you are so much more convincing.
sometimes it happens by accident seeing as the caps lock right next to the ‘a’
ha ha ha!
That’s why I disable my CAPS LOCK.
Back in the day, I came across a very convincing article which postulated life derived from deviant structures in minerals, specifically sheet silicates. Promptly passed on the revelation to one of my profs who loved it.
They may also suspect that the unspent $$ is going to be clawed back or at least “repurposed” since the US is currently adding $1 Trillion in debt every 100 days (yes, you are reading that right) they likely know it won’t last long enough to even begin the engineering plans required.
$1,000,000,000,000 in the rabbit hole every 3 months.
l looked it up. the first one took 195 years from the founding fathers days to Reagan’s tax breaks for the wealthy and huge military spending ‘put it over the top’.

ps. ‘trillion’
ha!!
*unless one spends (pun intended) months and months over the course of YEARS cogitating, it cannot be captured or imagined. its like the distances of space, ‘beellliyun lite yarz away yep yep.’*
its going to be seriously frightening when the world’s BENCHMARK currency falters.
aka a repeat of the rise of naziism with the requisite fear, economic WORLDWIDE conflagration. just multiply the Weimar by a factor of 10 to 100.
for starters.
heralding The End Times.
‘when will they realize the damage DEI does’.
hulllOOOO.
allow me.
‘they’ are ALREADY in the know, because’ THEY’ set it up and implemented it. its the old ‘whuz good fer JEE EMM iz good fer da econoME’
aka PUSHING DEI regardless, advances DEI.
what helps GM helps other sectors of the precious econoME, steel suppliers, glass and rubber suppliers, corner stores in cities with assembly lines, yada yada yada.
all
else
is
secondary
aaaaand if it miraculously pans out justification to DO IT AGAIN.
‘ceppen DEI has not infiltrated what appears to be
LARGE FOREIGN OWNED HI TECH MFGERS.
Too bad you can’t write in a coherent manner.
Perhaps it’s for the best. The content is after all minimal, but this way the style is spectacular.
Didn’t see that one coming. Apparently DEI now includes Ex-Cons into the listing of diverse groups. Or as they put it in their twisted vocabulary to instill non-clarification…”Justice Involved Individuals.”
Ahh the west…When they’re not busy chopping the dicks off their kids they’re busy wrecking the economy.
The “tall poppy” syndrome comes to mind…
Interestingly the “6 sigma”management methodology is diametrically opposite to that of DEI
