Their DEI requirements crippled the CHIPs act that they lauded as a solution to reshoring chip production to the U.S.
They required the construction crews to meet DEI requirements, despite construction crews being 95% (probably more like 99%) straight white and Hispanic males.
Then they required the companies to have DEI compliance officers who would coordinate with the 200 person team of government parasites staffing the office for enforcing the CHIPs act.
Basically, the Democrats who wrote the CHIPs act were either incredibly stupid (quite possible), or they deliberately sabotaged their own bill so they could blast out fundraising emails to progressive idiots who will never work construction or in a cleanroom at a chip fab.
To date, exactly one facility has come online as a result of the CHIPs act, and the company who built it has already canceled plans to open further facilities. All the big chipmakers are diversifying out of Taiwan, but they're going to Germany, Poland, Spain, and other countries that offer subsidies without requiring the companies to hire a workforce that lacks the talent to make cutting-edge microchips.
