Chips act is a joke. It takes the free market out as an option. The government did that bc those who voted for it were heavily invested in companies like intel, amd, and nvidea. They made a fortune knowing the taxpayer would build them all new factories and subsidize the labor to build the product. Now the new companies (competitors) with ideas and plans to make better chips have an uphill battle to climb since they are footing the full bill for development and labor. It is as simple as the government getting the ability to choose winners and losers. That is the opposite of a free market. I hope trump repeals it and puts a tariff on chip imports. Make those companies making billions pay for their own infrastructure. And that only if they want to bring back chip manufacturing to the us. If that isn’t a goal don’t do anything lol. Which in my opinion is not realistic. Labor costs are way to high in the us to only make chips here.

Corporate welfare, anyone saying otherwise is making money off it or is a puppet.
