【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, April 22, 2022】TSMC is going all out to expand the new factory in U.S., and it needs to work hard to find enough manpower. Why TSMC's US factory can't recruit people locally? It turns out that one requirement discourages Americans the most.

TSMC is recruiting manpower in Taiwan for its new Arizona Fab 21 factory. Tom's Hardware, an American technology information website, relayed a related report. It seems that the most important condition for the application is fluent workplace English, which is very interesting.

Tom's Hardware reports that their readers may wonder why TSMC isn't hiring locally in the U.S. for a low-level technician position that requires few specific job skills or experience?

The author of the report said that after learning about TSMC's recruitment advertisements in the United States, he would find one of the requirements that many Americans lacked interest in. Because TSMC said that admitted candidates must go to Taiwan to train for 6 to 12 months. Some vacancies that require engineering degrees also require long-term training in Taiwan. Americans find it difficult and troublesome to see such requirements.

Major technology companies have always had the problem of not easily retaining talent. This report from Tom's Hardware believes that TSMC's production expansion plan is very ambitious. Finding suitable people and retaining people for so many job vacancies will be affected by the labor market. One of the manufacturers hardest hit by austerity.

TSMC's rival, US-based Intel, has set up a multi-billion-dollar fund to retain talent and attract the best workforce. Intel plans to give employees $2.4 billion in cash and stock to reward outstanding performance and willingness to stay. If the money was split equally among all employees, each would get $21,000.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed on the 21st that he had received a letter of commitment of $46.5 billion to fund his acquisition of Twitter.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk said in a securities filing that he is currently exploring a public offer to buy Twitter shares directly from shareholders because Twitter’s board has not responded. But he also said it had not yet decided whether to do so.

Musk made a non-binding takeover proposal on the 14th to buy Twitter for $43 billion.

Musk said he has committed about $21 billion in equity financing. He also said he had received a letter of commitment from Morgan Stanley Advanced Financing to provide a $13 billion debt financing arrangement.

In a separate debt commitment letter, Morgan Stanley also proposed a $12.5 billion margin loan, according to Musk's securities filings, the report said.

Twitter responded with a so-called poison pill plan to make it harder for the world's richest man, Musk, to take a stake of more than 15 percent in the company after Musk made the non-consensual offer.

IRS announces 2022 funding for Low Income Taxpayer Clinic grant recipients

IR-2022-92, April 20, 2022

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced today that more than $12.1 million in matching grants were awarded to 131 organizations across the country for development, expansion or continuation of qualified Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) for the 2022 grant year. The grant year runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2022.

Through the LITC Program, the IRS awards matching grants of up to $100,000 per year to qualifying organizations. The LITC Program is a federal grant program administered by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS led by the National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins. Although LITCs receive partial funding from the IRS, LITCs, their employees and volunteers are independent from the IRS.

Qualified organizations awarded LITC grants ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system for taxpayers who are low-income or speak English as a second language (ESL) by providing pro bono representation for qualified taxpayers in tax disputes with the IRS, educating them about their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers, and identifying and advocating on issues that impact these taxpayers.

A complete list of 2022 grant recipients, the cities and states where they are located, and the amounts awarded by the IRS, is located here.

More information about LITCs and the work they do to represent, educate and advocate on behalf of low-income and ESL taxpayers is available in IRS Publication 5066, LITC Program Report. IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List, provides information about LITCs by geographic area, including contact information and details about the languages served at that specific LITC location.

Wooten, M.D., M.P.H., County public health officer. “San Diegans, especially those at higher risk for severe outcomes from an infection, should continue to utilize non-pharmaceutical interventions, like masking and staying away from sick people.

• Two women and two men died between April 12, 2022 and April 14, 2022.
• Three were age 80 or older and one was in their 50s.
• Two of the people who died were fully vaccinated and two were not fully vaccinated.
• All had underlying medical conditions.

Cases, Case Rates, Hospitalizations and Testing:

• 405 COVID-19 cases were reported to the County on April 19, 2022. The region’s total is now 755,863.
• 2,057 cases were reported in the past week (April 13 through April 19) compared to 1,964 infections identified the previous week (April 6 through April 12).
• San Diego County’s case rate per 100,000 residents 12 years of age and older is 6.9 for people fully vaccinated and boosted, 3.7 for fully vaccinated people and 12.7 for not fully vaccinated San Diegans.
• 5,278 tests were reported to the County on April 17, 2022, and the percentage of new positive cases was 3.3% (Data through April 17, 2022).
