A headline in Foreign Policy magazine from earlier this month read, “No Water, No Workers, No Chips.” It was about the need for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and other, similar firms to take climate into account when investing in particular locations.

Seiden is president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and joined The Show to talk about what he wrote and why.
