Bringing back some of the production to the US, which will benefit everybody by getting skills that are exclusively available in Asia onto the continent where most of it originated but now has been perfected and is only available outside the US. I don't live in the US but it's worrisome that we're comfortable with the concentration of EE manufacturing skills in one particular region of the world. Other industries are not like that and have state of the art production in all places of the world.

- cm3 10y agoEven if robots do more of it, it's a win because there's no precious resource in Asia that requires fabs to sit there like say tea plantations and because better robots will allow setting up fabs in more diverse locations.
