TSMC can't find anyone capable of doing the required work for the planned minimum wage. Decides to hire no one at all.

TSMC knows they're fucked if this factory gets built.

I guess it's time for the world to reevaluate factory work wages. Everyone is an academic because that's where the money is/was, but the factories can't find workers because we were told that machines will do the factory work for us by now.

... what do they expect to happen in 2025?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Elections in Taiwan are happening next year, and it's widely expected that KMT gets back into power. If that happens Taiwan will likely restart the dialog over peaceful repatriation. The fabs are a big bargaining chip for Taiwan, and if the factory in US gets built they lose that. So, it might be a political game they're playing there.

A bunch of taiwanese debunked that for you in another thread, lecturing you with context, history, and recent surveys providing you wrong every step in the way. And yet you keep spreading your nonsense. If you are not using this website as a unique chance to learn about the real world and fact check your information bubble, and are unwilling to listen and learn from others, what the heck are you even doing here?

Some guy claiming to be from Taiwan and disagreeing with me is not a bunch of Taiwanese debunking anything. Also, we'll see soon who is actually living in the real world when the election happens, won't we?

Those guys didn't disagree with you, they offered you relevant and unbiased sources so you wouldn't sound like an angry ignorant spitting hatred. But, again, you turned down the offer to learn anything. We will indeed see what happens after the elections, since this is all that matters to you. That's just sports, isn't it? Yelling with the crowd, supporting the team no matter what, for this sweet sweet feeling of belonging, no matter if in the wrong. Whatever the outcome, I can only expect a lot of bad faith and deception, and your short focus to span onto the next controversial topic.

I'm feeling really worried for you. You seem to be going deeper and deeper into this antisocial and hateful rabbit hole. Try to seek help. You are not a white king, you are not the defender of a moral high-ground. You are not serving justice. You are not helping anybody. You are just the relay and mouthpiece of powerful and hateful people, and if you have any self-respect and self-consciousness, you should refuse to be their puppet. My 2c.

I offered relevant and unbiased sources. If anything, my sources would be biased against China because they're western. Also, is it like a royal they, cause last I checked it was exactly one guy.

That’s just sports, isn’t it? Yelling with the crowd, supporting the team no matter what, for this sweet sweet feeling of belonging, no matter if in the wrong. Whatever the outcome, I can only expect a lot of bad faith and deception, and your short focus to span onto the next controversial topic.

You must be talking about yourself here.

I’m feeling really worried for you.

Should be worried about yourself since I clearly live rent free in your head. Maybe take your own advice and seek help yourself instead of harassing strangers in the internet. Not a sign of a healthy mind that if you ask me. Do some introspection because you frankly sound deeply disturbed to me.
