But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

I think we're seeing in russia hat happens when a military can't get the chips it needs.
Hopefully we can get competitive with the costs in Asia.
This, I think, is pretty key. Though it might require a lot more government subsidies. Or, the US military could just pay the difference and consider the upcharge acceptable if it means chips are being built domestically.
I saw another article saying some groups were trying to bar Taiwanese workers from working in the US factories. I didn’t get a chance to read it through, but I have to question the wisdom is barring some seriously needed expertise.
Plus, the more immigrants the better!
The TSMC plant is bringing in Taiwanese workers bc they're unable to get their Phoenix Plant clean.
The US simply doesn't have these skilled workers right now
