Agree that TSMC is good news.
> US manufacturing is about to be reinvigorated
I’d suggest you post a small/medium quantity machining RFP on MFG.com with a medium to high complexity. I’ve been quite discouraged that US vs China price differences are 5-10x. (My part was a custom M0.8 screw in quantity ~500.)
It seems that without a vibrant base of small businesses, it will be very challenging to truly reinvigorate US manufacturing. And that would require reforming the finance sector/allocation of capital that currently is skewing really heavily towards “scale”.
