It's nice to build chip fabs in the USA, but is it _really_ necessary to "gift" some of the most capable and productive companies on the planet billions of dollars (not even counting the tax freebies)?
The whole CHIPS act thing seems backwards and short-sighted.
As the US education system is backsliding into literally worse-than-third-world outcomes, can we expect that companies like TSMC will even be able to find enough US workers to staff these facilities at a scale which will be large enough to move the economic needle?
