Generally, if I hear it from cable news, there's a good chance it's just
someone drumming up support for something.  In this case, we'll probably
hear about some kind of H1B system to make sure the new fabs get all the
people they need, etc.  Same deal as when I was working at a company that
got bought by Dell, and they failed to retain most of the new employees
because they didn't have a structure that worked with professionals.
Suddenly you saw Michael Dell doing an interview on CNBC about the need to
extend H1B 'cause they aren't getting enough workers.  At the very least,
there's plenty of incentive to drive down labor costs.  And with the halts
for new housing going out, there is a LOT of incentive to manipulate the
market.

Am I being paranoid?  I probably need to touch more grass.
