Biden tells execs US needs to invest, lead in computer chips
- croutonwagon 6y agoAs someone who’s family members worked in printed circuit boards that industry got offshored a long time ago for most stuff, with minimal fabrication in the US short of specific needs that require specific supply chain assurances. There’s a lot of pollutants and toxic chemicals/heavy metals and like other industries it was pitched as a way to reduce cost AND pollution. It would be really nice to bring a lot of manufacturing back to this hemisphere, printed circuit boards included. I’m not sure that the Biden infra plan Hes pitching really addresses that. The best attempt I have seen was the attempts toward the end of last year to get TSM to have an Arizona based plant (which I think is still progressing but I haven’t heard much in about a year)
