It really doesn’t cost that much to have chips assembled in America, either to the business or a consumer. Semiconductors are just a cutthroat business and these CEOs would murder their grandmother for a quarter. American wages wouldn’t cause your Macbook to be more than a few bucks more expensive.

A lot of problems with America is that it’s just not very good lol. Arizona is a great location for a plant that relies on water, America can’t get shit built in general, and its local talent pool has been gutted since software was paying more than double the salary semiconductors we’re paying for years.
