The biggest problem with building advanced chip manufacturing facilities in the U.S. isn't a lack of money...it is a lack of worker talent. TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Man.) is currently trying to build a facility in Arizona, but it is going slowly for that reason.

TSMC is having more luck building in Japan than in America--Truculent workers and red tape have slowed its efforts in Arizona

Lack of worker talent? Is this still during basic construction? Can they not find bulldozer operators, concrete finishers and HVAC guys in Arizona? Or does this have to do with the cutting edge fabrication equipment — and I have no idea where that is manufactured, but I doubt that it’s in Arizona?

Where is the talent bottleneck?

Lack of talent is mostly lack of education:

In China, the average Chinese on the street can recite the history of China going back thousands of years.

In America, the average man on the street can only recite US history going back to the morning breakfast.
