I don't understand why people keep bringing up TSMC in the context of Tariffs enabling US manufacturing. All this shit you mentioned was long before Tariffs became a shiny new toy and was the result of other government backed industrialization efforts.
Who is buying toys? Children have exactly one toy (their iPad), I don't know what other market could exist for them.
The expansions to the plant were directly due to Trump. They knew tarrifs were coming. They want to keep their operations in the US fully to shield themselves for that.
Even at that, they don’t HAVE to build the factory. They can put bids for subcontractors and fill up the struggling mom and pop type places, for a lot of things
This is pure speculation. We realized how fucked we were in 2020 when chips stopped flowing out of Taiwan. Taiwan realized how fucked they were when China began seriously rumbling about retaking the island again. They started building in 2021.
Democrats and rinos being in charge has been detrimental to society
My nephew has been an autistic video game obsessed retard for much of his life. Due to masculine influences around him, he grew up and is a mechanic
Thats not true if I had executive power I’d draft feminists and other members of the laptop class to work in factories for the lulz.
Right but don’t tell them that we want them to suffah
Slap up a few "Rosie the Riveter" posters on high school and college campus bulletin boards and make women think they're distinctly unwelcome or considered incapable or unwilling to do that type of work and they'll start insisting on factory jobs just because they've been told they can't/won't/aren't wanted. The Rosie poster is to remind them that it used to be cool.
I see your reading comprehension is shit friend. I said that the co-bot required a worker to load and inspect its work. It's doesn't replace a worker is supplants having an experienced welder with having literally anyone willing to work with it while they hone their own skills. When you're short on welders like the US is you should be begging to have these machines spread far and wide to offer more jobs to people who need an entry point.
That's the problem. Many American businesses will go under soon after Trump's full tariff regime resume later this year unless domestic manufacturing can be brought up to task before then, an implausible task.
It’s going to be a necessary task. China took the work by hostile means, and this is not sustainable. You want to build them a bigger navy?
I was essentially agreeing with you so I'm not sure where you're coming from. The purpose of those robots is to replace multiple humans apiece. That's why they exist. Five humans maintaining a few million dollars worth of robots replaces a hundred or more manual laborers.
Retard, co-bot's cost like 20-30k. A miller welding robotic cell costs like 120k used. Stop coping about a topic you're really poorly informed on.
For as long as their parents keep paying for the apps and phone they have a pacifier but not a innovation tool. Kids don't use iPads like adults. They watch silly bs from other creators, mimic them and become robots to trends. Toys inspire creativity and imagination, which is why zoomer liberals have none because they were raised as trend followers not innovators from same "iPads" at age 5.
The specific robot in that pic is a Vectis Cobalt Welder. They cost $95k-$140k apiece. I looked it up before posting, something you should've done. I am a retard though if that makes you feel any better.
I keep seeing people bring this point up but at the same time these businesses are mostly stimulating the Chinese economy because they buy from and sell crap from China. I don't really care if those businesses go under because they don't do anything for me.
Are you telling people to buy a BMW instead of a Luxury Truck they don't use for truck stuff?
