Taiwan tells Uncle Sam its chip ecosystem ain't going anywhere

Re: Reshoring?

>America's semiconductor sector is still in the USA

But it's not on the shore.

Obviously onshoring means you have to build the fabs on a beach somewhere, probably in Florida

Re: Instant mindset

Let them eat Pi: RAM shortage bumps Raspberry prices as much as $60

> high prices, build out production - glut - close fabs - shortage - high prices.

On this time scale it's not even build fabs, but redirect wafers to more profitable parts, or even more profitable higher performance ram.

So when it all crashes we should be able to ramp production of regular ram back up in few months
