Potato Chips?

Do you know how expensive a bag of potato chips is in the U.S. today? And how little you get for the price?

 

[aim9xray]

Why yes. Yes I do. But the throughput...

I am also still waiting for "Spud!TM". "The beer that made Boise famous"

But you probably pay much less by weight for spud chips than microchips

I'd rather chip-free devices be made.

You should get right on it.

If you don't lean over your devices while you eat the chips, they will remain chip-free.

Part of a much-bigger process to move manufacturing back to North America. It will take a generation to build new factories and train new generations of technicians. This is driven by rising oil prices, but also helps to make NA independent of SEA suppliers. In the long run, it will allow the USA to revert to isolationism.
