They mean they can't find Americans that will work for the same wages as bug people.
That could be it, but I believe that the skilled people they are looking for are already retired and the new generation is unfit/unqualified because they've wasted their time with gender studies.
Yes. The pool of people with those skills are already working in a job at the few remaining foundries and aren't going to leave for sub-par wages.
The only other foundry I can think of in recent memory was the WE/ATT/Lucent plants, and those are so long gone those people are dead or retired.
TSMC is most likely unwilling to train people, so they just complain instead. They want 110% immediately and they can't get it because it doesn't exist.
That's probably true. In the 90s I worked for a company that made a specialized pump used in semiconductor fabs. I traveled to most of the US, South Korea, and Italian fabs installing and training maintenance techs. I was in my 40s then, and most of the techs I dealt with were about the same age or just a little younger.
jew-run corporations (mostly owned by Vanguard/BlackRock) killed plenty of industries in White countries by delocalizing to Asia so they could get more shekels.
