Trump to impose 25% to 100% tariffs on Taiwan-made chips, impacting TSMC

[umami_wasbi@lemmy.ml]

And remember, once the price goes up, it rarely goes down. Even after the tariffs reverted in the future.

What a goddamn dumb fuck

By Taiwanese law, TSMC isn't allowed to move cutting edge processes to its US plant. The overseas operations have to be at least one gen behind.

From a strategic point of view, it makes sense for the Taiwan government to do this. They don't want the US to suck them dry then cut a deal with the mainland.

I mean, it's economic blackmail: we won't build the good shit anywhere else, so if you don't protect us, you get nothing.

Effective, but only if you're dealing with someone who is rational, and, well, have you seen the brain-worm oligarchs in charge of the US lately?

I did mine a couple months ago because I anticipated this happening.

[derpgon@programming.dev]

Oh he did, there were supposed to be 500% tariffs ^/s^

Peace in our time, what a great deal maker!

Russian revenge for the sanctions.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Probably Aussie hardware prices at this rate.

OP needs a second to make it American.

They did say American worker is lazy and expects highest pay lol

Cry me a fucking river. This corpo really forgot who defends their precious island. American tax payer spends good money in your support. Show some fucking respect.

Frat bro vibes detected

[ultragigagigantic@lemmy.ml]

Lemmy is for everyone. Even the bros

[sunzu2@thebrainbin.org]

Hmm... You might be on to something. Ever since after Ww2, we have been ruled in a way where police is never really stated outright and whatever teevee suggests is never what the policy or reasoning really is.

Looking at your "Patriot" act

[tsesejuer@lemmy.world]

I never went to college or was in a frat you goober

[sunzu2@thebrainbin.org]

My apologies

[lemminary@lemmy.world]

Or Mexico! We're already on it. Sheinbaum is working to get a chip manufacturing plant up in Guadalajara. Exciting stuff, honestly.

[labbbb2@thelemmy.club]

I think it will not solve the problem. Look, 70 million Americans voted for walking fox news

[labbbb2@thelemmy.club]

What is 2a?

[shirro@aussie.zone]

Awesome. More availability for the rest of us.
