    If the hellscape thing comes to pass the structural integrity of any building is probably going to be the least of anyone’s care. Like a drone walk is not going to make people happy about going into a clean room for an entire shift. That will end shortly.

    The much more possible possibility is that the plant moves to the US with newer machines.

      There are no newer, or any other machines at the level of the tsmc plant. They cost multiple billions for each production line and require parts that take ages to produce (like zeiss mirrors for millions a piece)

        It’s not that bad actually. The various mirrors are just some of the most important components. But it’s not the gating item.
