What a dogshit article with goulish takes from a hog

The writers of this terrible terrible article are Matt Cole and Chris Nicholson. I have looked up both of them.

Matt Cole is Ceo of Strive. A company specifically created to work against diversity in the tech industry. Here's Strives site where it talks about the history. It was created with Vivek Ramaswamy (Vivek rhymes with cake for pronunciation). Which if you know him, then you know how crazy this article really is.

Chris Nicholson has a lot of people sharing his name. One is, as of 2018 at least, the ceo of skymind, an ai company that doesn't even have offices in the US. Another is the ceo of mpulse mobile, a sub company of mpulse. It's a Healthcare company that seems to do a lot of software development for that industry. Another is a partner at Russel Reynolds Associates, a pretty standard looking UK lawfirm. Yet another is an Australian Sailor who's competed in multiple summer Olympics. I'm unsure which this Chris Nicholson is. Probably not the Olympian.

I know this was an opinion piece but I'm rather surprised to see this from the hill. I don't really care for them but this seems to be a step in a much worse direction. It's possible it's been heading that direction for a while and I just haven't noticed it since I don't really pay attention to their clickbait.

This person is not taking into account the MASSIVE tax breaks Poland and Israel are able to provide. Also the far cheaper labor.

Ya, it definitely has nothing to do with overly ambitious requirements for nodes, poor siteing of plants by companies, said sites requiring highly skilled workers move to small town Arazona for peanuts, or even the fact that in many cases training worked on these cutting edge nodes ment they needed to learn a second language and spend years in a foreign country for work, and Amaricans arn’t used to being the ones who have to do that.

It definitely wasn’t any of that, it was that they tried to hire a similar percentage of qualified women and black people as apllied to work on these projects. Definitely.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The law contains 19 sections aimed at helping minority groups, including one creating a Chief Diversity Officer at the National Science Foundation, and several prioritizing scientific cooperation with what it calls “minority-serving institutions.” A section called “Opportunity and Inclusion” instructs the Department of Commerce to work with minority-owned businesses and make sure chipmakers “increase the participation of economically disadvantaged individuals in the semiconductor workforce.”

The department does not call speed critical, even though the impetus for the CHIPS Act is that 90 percent of the world’s advanced microchips are made in Taiwan, which China is preparing to annex by 2027, maybe even 2025.

There’s plenty for the left—requirements that chipmakers submit detailed plans to educate, employ, and train lots of women and people of color, as well as “justice-involved individuals,” more commonly known as ex-cons.

Intel is also building fabs in Poland and Israel, which means it would rather risk Russian aggression and Hamas rockets over dealing with America’s DEI regime.

All Congress has to do is insist it meant what it said in the CHIPS Act and no more: giving poor people opportunities isn’t a free pass to enact all of DEI’s pet causes, and especially not to make national security wait on them.

The CHIPS Act’s current identity as a jobs program for favored minorities means companies are forced to recruit heavily from every population except white and Asian men already trained in the field.
