  • They build their manufacturing industries since the 1970, they saw an opportunity and position themselves as the « avant guards » for that problem. In short they have decades in advance from everyone. Now someone could build a factory but they will not be able to ever compete against Taiwan.

    China always said that Taiwan is their, Trumps wanting to bring back chips manufacturing to the US is laughable at best 1. Doing so will need a huge influx in capital 2. Running the new factories will be impossible/cost effective (read minimal cost) as the Taiwanese do (you know regulations and such) 3. Training employees will be a fucking pain. Now since China always had eyes on Taiwan, the American faltering presence will give them the perfect opportunity to attack or soft conquer it.

    In conclusion if Trumps’s bid works and chips industries happen in America = the price of computer go up for poorer products for decades to come

    Not a glamourous one but at 14 my dad said to me « open a 401k » (or equivalent in your country). I laugh at him thinking I was better. Now I’m old and poundering why I didn’t listen to him.

    Don’t put all your saving in it maybe a couple of buck a little bit at a time but when you’ll be my age you’ll have a tidy some hopefully to reduce some financial stress

    Have fun too, don’t forget that one
