    Thing is all that crap can be stitched together by 12 year olds in Alabama instead of 12 year olds in China.

    I don’t think he can really comprehend a chip fabrication plant costing 10 times his entire net worth. He probably thinks that what they make in “Silicon Valley”…

      I recently saw gamers nexus’ Intel tour. It was like seeing a sci-fi movie, it’s incredible how advanced the stuff they do is. I also found it incredible how much it takes to build a chip… It takes about 2-3 months from wafer to chip.

        It takes about 2-3 months from wafer to chip.

        After spending 3-4 years building the factory and even more time finding and training staff.

        But, sure, tarriff the hell out of things that can’t be made domestically for (optomistacally) half a decade. That’ll certainly make it happen instantly…

        /fucking morons.
