Looks like Biden got false promises.........but was there ever a REAL 46th POTUS, BIDEN? LOL
Micron announced its
$250billion U.S. memorychip investment on July910,2026, when the company publicly raised its longterm domestic spending plan from $200billion to more than $250billion, with construction already underway at its massive New York fabrication site. What actually happened
- July 9, 2026: Micron issued a press release stating it was accelerating U.S. manufacturing plans and increasing its expected investment to over $250billion through 2035, marking the first concrete pour at its Clay, New York megafab.
- July 10, 2026: Multiple news outlets reported the expanded $250billion commitment, noting the project would become the largest semiconductor manufacturing site in U.S. history and a cornerstone of domestic AIera memory production.
Micron's move represents one of the largest single privatesector manufacturing investments ever announced in the United States. The plan aims to:
- Produce 40% of Micron's DRAM domestically.
- Support over 90,000 jobs nationwide.
- Anchor a longterm U.S. supply chain for advanced memory chips critical to AI, defense, and cloud computing.
When did Micron spend $250 BILLION to build memory chips HERE IN THE USA!

Why this matters
Micron's move represents one of the largest single privatesector manufacturing investments ever announced in the United States. The plan aims to:
- Produce 40% of Micron's DRAM domestically.
- Support over 90,000 jobs nationwide.
- Anchor a longterm U.S. supply chain for advanced memory chips critical to AI, defense, and cloud computing.
If you want, I can also break down where the money is going, construction timelines, or how this compares to other U.S. chip investments.

Micron's $250billion U.S. memorychip investment is a multiphase, multistate buildout stretching through 2035, centered on its Clay, New York megafab and a set of supplychain expansions across the country. Below is a clear, structured breakdown of where the money goes, construction timelines, and how this compares to other U.S. chip investments, grounded in the latest reporting.
Micron's spending plan includes fab construction, equipment, R&D, and supplychain strengthening:
- Clay, New York megafab (core of the investment)
- This is the largest portion of the $250billion plan, covering multibuilding DRAM and HBM fabrication facilities.
- Construction has begun, with the first concrete poured in July 2026.
- This site is expected to become the largest semiconductor manufacturing campus in U.S. history.
- Domestic supplychain expansion ($3billion)
- Micron is committing up to $3billion to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem.
- Includes $500million strategic financing for GlobalWafers' new 300mm raw silicon wafer plant in Sherman, Texas, securing longterm wafer supply.
- A 10year wafer supply agreement ensures Micron has priority access to U.S.-made silicon wafers.
- Federal support (CHIPS Act grants)
- Micron expects over $6billion in U.S. federal grants to support the buildout
R&D and technology development
- Significant portions of the investment fund advanced DRAM and HBM development, critical for AI infrastructure.
Construction timeline (through 2035)
- 2026
- First concrete poured at Clay, NY megafab.
- Site preparation and early structural work underway.
- Supplychain investments announced (Texas wafer plant financing).
- 20272030
- Major fab structures rise; cleanroom buildout begins.
- Equipment installation phases start (lithography, deposition, metrology).
- Workforce rampup accelerates (tens of thousands of construction and supplier jobs).
- 20302035
- Full fab modules come online in stages.
- Micron targets 40% of its DRAM production to be U.S.-based by 2035.
- Additional fab buildings and R&D expansions continue as demand for AI memory grows.
How Micron's $250billion compares to other U.S. chip investments
Micron's plan is one of the largest private manufacturing investments in U.S. history, but here's how it stacks up:
Micron $250billion (largest U.S. memorychip investment ever)
- Largest U.S. semiconductor manufacturing site.
- Focused on DRAM/HBM for AI and cloud.
- Includes supplychain investments and longterm wafer agreements.
Intel ~$100billion (Ohio + Arizona + New Mexico)
- Intel's Ohio "Silicon Heartland" project alone is ~$2028billion.
- Total U.S. expansion commitments approach ~$100billion, but spread across multiple states and technologies (logic chips, packaging).
TSMC ~$65billion (Arizona)
- TSMC's Arizona fabs (three phases) total ~$65billion.
- Focused on advanced logic nodes (3nm, 2nm).
Samsung ~$17billion (Texas)
- Samsung's Taylor, TX fab is ~$17billion, with potential future expansions.
SK Hynix exploring U.S. HBM investments
- No comparable megafab announced; Micron's plan outpaces Korean rivals' U.S. spending.
Bottom line:
Micron's $250billion dwarfs other U.S. chip investments in scale, duration, and domestic supplychain integration. It is the largest memorychip investment ever announced in the United States and positions the country as a major DRAM/HBM producer for the AI era.

LOL, the wranglings with #blindmice. No more, this is not what ole Were does.
When the Q operation chest hits the tape at the finish line the #blindmice will be hiding. It will not have been a contest.
