yes because that is going to totally address the problem of not having the pre-existing infrastructure to manufacture these chips lets say you magically teleport all of the employees of tsmc to america tomorrow, they still cannot match the chip output in taiwan because they literally do not have the infrastruture to build because no one is creating said infrastructure. you create this giant time gap between not enough fabs to enough fabs where the almost all electronics that matter needs tsmc's output is left in fking limbo whose gonna address that gap in america?? fucking intel w/ their h1b jeets?? this move is retarded just because you want to pre-emptive tariff instead tariffing when you have already created the local physical means
