TSMC says the opening of its Arizona chip factory has been delayed due to a shortage of skilled workers. The company says it needs to bring Taiwanese workers to Arizona to get construction back on track. An Arizona union says US jobs are being threatened — and is urging lawmakers to deny the workers’ visas.

It is just the usual shortage of skilled exploitable workers. Nothing new.
It’s never a worker shortage. Pay well, and the workers will come. TSMC (as all big corps) are just greedy cheapskates.
The US easily has the skills to build a factory like this… OPERATING IT once it’s built? That’s a different deal…
tldr; TSCM wants low-paid slaves & US workers have 1000x more options.
