      @jon-nyc Not surprising.

      I wonder how much something like this will impact the TSCM chip factory in Arizona

        This post of Tabarrok's got appropriately destroyed in the comments. I'm sure he's a generally bright guy, but this is non-serious rhetoric, reflective of no reality.

        Education is extremely important.

          Maybe the above was a bit "over the top" but not completely unrealistic.

          Per the ROK president

          President Lee Jae Myung said on Thursday a U.S. immigration raid resulting in the detention of hundreds of workers at a Hyundai Motor business project could have an impact on U.S. investment decisions made by Korean companies.

            Tabarrok's claim about how "many Americans" would react if a foreign country rounded up a bunch of American illegals, was the absurd part. I acknowledge that prepared remarks from Korea's president might do some light posturing about being a little miffed, but of course that will come to nothing.

            Education is extremely important.

                    @jon-nyc that is true. It just shows how strong a "hold" he has on the Republics. He can change his mind 180 degrees, and the same people who were cheering his previous choice would be just as loud cheering his 180 different choice.

                        2026 is less than four months away.
                        How big a deal is it in the realm of multi-$billion construction projects?

                          About training the American workers... How about sending American workers to South Korea to train there, then bring them back to build the factories in the USA?

                            I think part of the "problem" doing something like that is that the most learning experience comes during a factory/plant/refinery startup. Unexpected problems, new equipment, etc.

                            Training at an already operating plant/factory/refinery, etc is good but leaves a lot behind.

                            I have a friend who did/does a lot of startup work for oil plants and said that starting up a new plant (6 months to a year) was worth years of experience vs. working in a existing steady state oil plant.

                            Maybe somewhat analogy to a military doctor in the field in wartime vs. a doctor working in a rural hospital.

                              Yeah but they didn’t specify what month.
