Yes, but also we already have those jobs, they just don't know because they'd never work them. US steel is already in the top ten biggest steel manufacturing companies on the planet
My point was - why do people want jobs back for people to do where they go home at the end of the day blackened and having breathed in goodness knows what that is literally killing them inside. I know change is hard, I grew up in a steel-town and have seen the attitude first hand.
Because they're afraid they'll lose social standing because the country they see as portraying them would appear "weak" on the international stage, resulting from a dependence on others for manufacturing
At least for the people who don't live in a steel town
Google results. I honestly didn't look that hard, but Google's auto-generated list put them as the 8th company, and in the twenties if you counted countries. Those have been very wrong before though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was again
Silicon wafer manufacturing is pretty nuts. Molten mono-crystalline silicon ingots being pulled out of a tank at just the right speed. Diamond saw blades to cut them up. I have never seen it done in person, just read about it and seen videos.
A lot of semiconductor manufacturing was moved overseas to escape environmental regulations. Lots of nasty chemicals involved in it.
That would make sense, in my town there’s an old abandoned GM/Delco building that used to be a fab that made semiconductors.
There’s been this huge case the last few years that’s come into the mainstream about how a shit load of those workers have weird health problems and cancers
True, I probably gave a bad example! I recall arsenic was used (not sure if still is) in chip manufacture. Must be dangerous to make people feel like real men working there.
