Taking the job which allows you to retain a greater portion of the value of your own labor is not "poaching". TSMC apparently decided they weren't worth enough to keep at that price.

That's kind of like saying Uber allows drivers to retain a greater portion of the value of their own labor.

When in reality we're talking about a greater portion of venture capital.

TSMC doesn’t have free capital from the government to make those decisions.

TSMC absolutely gets free capital from various governments.

That's the whole point of that Arizona fab they're building.

Doesn't TSMC own ~10% of SMIC?
