Just to play devil's advocate, what would the world look like had there been massive investment 5-10 years ago? The benefits would probably have been a chip shortage that wasn't and we'd be free to complain about other things.
- instafail 5y agoIn this world, obviously, we would be complaining about the government subsidising unprofitable chip factories with billions of tax credits. Since we wouldn't have a chip supply crisis, we wouldn't know what its like to have one :D

Or went bankrupt, like the previous "let's onshore an important piece of high tech" plan, Solyndra? If it was started 5-10 years ago, would it have survived the change of administrations?
- antonzabirko 5y agoI would take a chip shortage over subsidizing them.
