 Was that the one with Michael Keaton ? Never

 I think the key here is just to invite him over for coffee and see where it leads!

   Whisky bottle over the head most likely ...  :-)

The delays with TSMC's Arizona plant weren't a comedy. I think half the
workforce is still from Taiwan.

 Well, communications CAN be a problem ... can't expect

 That is why god invented esperanto! Force everyone to learn esperanto, and no one can complain about being treated unfairly, and there will be universal love and happiness! ;)

   Esperanto - AAAUUGH !!!
   Even thus, too 'Euro' - the Wokies/anti-colonialists
   will never approve now. HAS to be based on Hindi or
   Sikh or something. The more West-Hating the better !
   Anyway, even English didn't become "universal"
   despite the UK owning half the world for a century+
   The tech is kinda here for good real-time 'universal
   translators' however ... spoken word -2- spoken word
   with little detectable delay.

 Hmmm ... maybe a 'virtual factory' where all parts
 aren't on the same continent. Govts won't like it
 but for practical issues ......
