Can someone explain to me why Arizona seems to be getting all of this economic development? What makes that state more ideal than others?

A chipmaker of that size moving operations to Arizona will shake things up. It sounds like a smart move for the U.S. to boost its domestic semiconductor production. It’s no secret how vital chips are for everything these days, from cars to phones to big data centers.


Chat GPT write a paragraph as an interested message board poster about the potential increase in domestic chip production.

Intel has had a presence in Arizona for over 40 years and the state is home to a well-established semiconductor ecosystem. Other major chip companies with a presence in Arizona include On Semiconductor, NXP and Microchip.


Yet, these plants require a hell of a lot of water, which AZ doest have a lot of. Will be interesting.

why not the rest of our industry?



Well. The advanced chips that drive the AI systems that will soon dominate industry, the military, medicine, entertainment, power generation, etc etc. Those all come from a small island right off the coast of China.

So yes. We need to lend that company $100 billion. Or $200 billion. To relocate it to Arizona so it doesn't fall into the hands of the Chinese government. Because the results of that are unthinkable.

Why not nationalize it? Its not fair in the least, to subsize massive corporations and not small business.

Youre going to have to subsidize it forever, or it will not stay here.

Maybe we should look at why its so expensive to run a business here first..

Well because it's publicly traded for one. And would sell for about $2 trillion in the LBO market.

And because its management team would never work for a government. So you would kill the value with a takeover.

Among other things.

It's cash flow positive. It's not like GM that ran itself out of money and into bankruptcy.

We're not funding the running of the business. The customers do that. We're funding the CAPEX associated with moving the business from China to Arizona.

Propped up by subsidies.

How is that fair to burgeoning industry?

shite, we just spent billions retooling auto factories too. Yet small business suffers.

I clicked thinking that this would be a Frito-Lay’s thing and was greeted with a wall of text. Damn you.

Not delayed. The completion dates were pushed back. There's tons of work being done right now on Intel in Ohio. It's a walk through in Columbus.

The first plant, yes. But after the CHIPS act passed they added another plant. I've known a bunch of people who worked on it over the last few years

And now this one.

This is still going as well thanks to the CHIPS act. Too bad Trump wants to do away with it.

Microns $100 billion investment in New York.

Companies have been backing out because the govt put a bunch of requirements on them and they said 'no thanks.'

Instead of paying companies to make shite here, give them a reason to.
