The deeper you go into the semiconductor supply chain, the less believable it becomes.
> TSMC, a company on a small island, produces over 90% of the world’s most advanced chips
> TSMC relies on dutch company ASML for EUV lithography machines
> ASML depends on German Company Carl Zeiss, the only firm in the world capable of making mirrors precise enough for ASML’s requirements.
> The light source for ASML’s EUV machines is produced by a single company in San Diego.
> The photoresists used to print transistor patterns are produced by Japanese firms like JSR and Tokyo Ohka Kogyo.
> The ultra-pure quartz needed to make silicon wafers comes entirely from a single mine in Spruce Pine, North Carolina.
> The copper and rare-earth materials inside chips are mined and refined across Chile, the Congo, and China.
> The specialized gases used in chipmaking, like neon and fluorine, largely come from Ukraine and Japan.
> The design blueprints for these chips often come from American companies like NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple, which rely on software tools from U.S. firms like Synopsys and Cadence.

Imagine being a non-IITian, from the #83 college in the country, and having anywhere close to this career trajectory in India.
I became a VP partially because I grew up in a family that argued loudly. I kept right on arguing my points through my career. However, sometimes people like me are the problem. Today, I want to share a different perspective: leading as an introvert.

We are very grateful to the United States for all the support. I’m thankful to President Trump, Congress for their bipartisan support, and American people. Ukrainians have always appreciated this support, especially during these three years of full-scale invasion.
Ok I resisted weighing in to the H-1B visa debate but I can't help myself because the current framing IS SO DUMB and I NEED TO CORRECT THINGS.
People are debating whether we should allow highly skilled workers into the U.S. or prioritize hiring American workers only. But this misses a critical point (which is very obvious to anyone who runs a business): if American companies can’t bring the talent they need into the country, they’ll simply hire or contract that talent offshore. In an increasingly global economy, restricting visas doesn’t protect American jobs—it just pushes innovation and opportunities outside our borders.
So duh, of course we should allow highly skilled, pro-American values folks to come into the country if companies want to sponsor them. This is exactly how we create more value inside the country and ultimately *more* American jobs.
3) Highly educated immigrants create jobs. Yes, they also compete for jobs, and I competed against some exceptionally brilliant leaders from all over the world. But those leaders have now either created or lead some of our most impressive companies.
2) Education in most countries that send us H-1B candidates is incredibly limited and highly competitive. The result is, only the absolute cream of the crop in those countries gets a chance to apply for an H-1B. We are literally stealing the very best from other countries. To stop that would be suicidal madness.
1) If another country pays to raise and educate a child through college and that young person then moves to the US, we just gained a fully mature tax payer at zero cost. All the news about student loans? In this case, another country paid for that education. They bore all the costs, we get all the benefits.
