‘Biden’s DEI rules are worse than HAMAS’: Top microchip makers are postponing US expansion and instead expanding in dangerous Israel and Russia (ed: Poland not Russia) because American grants come with so many ‘equity’ caveats

The Biden administration promised earlier this year that they would be handing out $39 billion in grants to encourage semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S. Shortly after the announcement however, Intel announced they would be holding off on their Columbus factory, while Samsung also delayed their facility in Texas. Despite the billions in subsidies, two experts believe the tech companies’ decision to back out of building manufacturing facilities in the U.S. stems from the diversity, equity and inclusion policy – “the subsidies are so ‘loaded with DEI that it can’t move.'”

The pair say that Intel has now built manufacturing plants in Poland and Israel, meaning they would rather deal with threat of Hamas rockets and Russian aggression than the government’s DEI regime. While Samsung is pivoting toward making South Korea the home of its semiconductor manufacturing plant.

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) has also pushed back production of a second facility in Arizona.
