There seems to be this idea that the people who design and operate fabs are infinite, when it's actually a technically demanding job.
We don't even have enough McDonald's employees, how the hell are we going to just suddenly have multiple companies creating fabs left and right? TSMC cannot even build their Arizona plant without a shortage of workers.
Every time someone says "we don't have enough employees", remember to add "....at the (almost certainly too low) wage being offered".
Maybe but then where are those CPU fab experts working right now that offer them higher wage?
Writing computer software, mostly.
China, supposedly.
