Reminds me of the post Sputnik era. Git scared then git smart.
Firstly this: In the one year since CHIPS was signed into law, companies have announced over $166 billion in manufacturing in semiconductors and electronics, and at least 50 community colleges in 19 states have announced new or expanded programming to help American workers access good-paying jobs in the semiconductor industry. In total, since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration, companies have announced over $231 billion in commitments in semiconductor and electronics investments in the United States.

And now this. Now why didn't corporations invest in America like this under Trump?
Exclusive: National strategy to build diverse STEM workforce unveiled

An alliance of businesses, governments, educational institutions and philanthropies will unveil a national strategy at the White House today to add 20 million new workers in science and related fields from historically excluded and underrepresented groups to the U.S workforce by 2050.
Why it matters: Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs are projected to grow faster than other occupations and are typically higher-paying. Building and leveraging that talent is a top priority for the U.S., China and other countries racing to advance AI, quantum computing, biotech and other fields.
A survey of STEM workers last year found 60% believe China will be the global leader in science and technology in five years.
"Equity in STEMM is critical to achieving the excellence and eminence required to expand the nation's scientific power and remain competitive," the authors of a report outlining the new strategy write. (They expand the definition of STEM to include the medical field — the second "M" — which has a "long history of inequities." )
The STEMM Opportunity Alliance (SOA) of more than 200 companies, including 3M, Uber and Microsoft, higher education institutions, federal and state governments and philanthropic groups devised the strategy.
Alliance members have said they will put more than $2 billion in total into nearly 350 new and existing programs and other commitments that will support the strategy.
"The jobs are changing. We're building factories of the future with new technologies and talent planning is different than it was even five years ago," says Michael Stroik, vice president of community relations at 3M, adding that the strategy offers a data- and research-driven blueprint for the company's work building a talent pipeline.
Stephanie Rodriguez, who developed the Department of Labor's Youth Employment Work strategy, will be the alliance's first director.
