I don't think the Rust belt really gives a shit about high tech industry making chips.

I have seen this in my own country when mega corps build highly automated data centres that only employ a few local cleaners and security guards.

Chip making is manufacturing and requires far more engineers, technicians and a wide network of suppliers than data centers or Amazon warehouses.
