Yuka Hayashi / Wall Street Journal : Tweets: @scottlincicome , @emiliesimons46 , @wenyee_lee , @chrismeagher46 , and @rm_patterson Tweets: Scott Lincicome / @scottlincicome : Yet another US semiconductor investment announced today. Federal subsidies, meanwhile, remain stalled. Almost as if these companies invest here for other reasons (workforce, proximity to customers/suppliers, etc), and the subsides are just gravy. https://www.wsj.com/... Emilie Simons / @emiliesimons46 : This is a big win. This $5 billion investment in the U.S. will create 1,500 jobs. @POTUS and Congress share the same goal: we must pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act by this summer because companies are making decisions NOW on where to invest next year. https://www.wsj.com/... Wen-Yee Lee / @wenyee_lee : Just in - Taiwan's #GlobalWafers is going to set up a new factory in Sherman, #Texas, making it another significant semiconductor investment of $5 billion after #TSMC's Arizona fab. This one will be closer to Samsung #Texas. https://www.wsj.com/... Chris Meagher / @chrismeagher46 : Big news this morning: GlobalWafers plans to build a $5 billion factory in Sherman, Texas, to manufacture silicon wafers, a key material used in the production of semiconductors. https://www.wsj.com/... Robyn Patterson / @rm_patterson : NEWS: @SecRaimondo announces new multi-billion dollar investment to in closing a critical gap in US chipmaking...but it all depends on Congress getting the Bipartisan Innovation Act to @POTUS' desk. https://www.wsj.com/...
