The world’s largest chipmaker promised to create thousands of US jobs. There are growing tensions over whether US workers have the skills or work ethic to do them.::Jobs at the TSMC semiconductor factory in Arizona could require long hours and total obedience. Americans may push back on the company’s culture.
It’s never been about US workers having the skills. It’s always been that we expect to be compensated for our labor. Paying real wages looks bad for their bottom line so they export the work and import the product at a fraction of the cost.
Actually of you read some of the stuff TSMC’s top guy says, you’ll see there may be a bit more than compensation involved. It looks a bit like racism. Something about Taiwanese brains vs American brains. It’s not good at all.
