#1 How about semiconductor manufacturing?

#2 TSMC to build a $12 billion advanced semiconductor plant in Arizona with US government support
The plant, scheduled to start production of chips in 2024, will enable TSMC’s American customers to fabricate their semiconductor products domestically. It will use the company’s 5-nanometer technology and is expected to create 1,600 jobs and have the capacity to produce 20,000 wafers a month.

Unfortunately, Intel has fallen one generation behind TSMC in manufacturing. If Intel doesn't straighten up, it will fall two generations behind.

#5 Maybe a light bulb turned on at the Intel executive suite. Yesterday:
Heads roll at Intel after 7nm delay
Renduchintala joined Intel in 2016, when the company lured him away from Qualcomm with an $8.1 million signing bonus and total compensation package worth up to $25 million. He has been Intel's chief engineering officer for just over three years now and was described as "the company's second most powerful executive" behind then-CEO Brian Krzanich.

Murthy Renduchintala will leave Intel on August 3, 2020.

#6 BTW, I think this Kodak news is big. Investors certainly thought so:
At the close today: $33.20 +25.26 (+318.14%)

A few more of these deals and Americans won't be reliant for their very survival on foreign (read Chinese) cancer causing contaminant laced pharmaceuticals.

Protect the industries that we need to survive from predation by our enemies. What is so hard about that?

#7 #5 - Murthy Renduchintala - he's likely a white supremacist too!
