What I mean, even when Apple, TSMC and other tech giants already said about huge investments, but they first stopped many already running projects and will spend at least few months before start new jobs (to be exact, on big projects, from budget decision to start hire, usually spend ~1-2 months).
What worsened things, some infrastructure giants are not in good shape (Intel, IBM, Ford), so, probably their tops will spend additional time to negotiate with investors new terms.
