Gratuitous subsidies from the US government.
Also this is a great move in my eyes. Intel's HQ is on the West Coast and I imagine that they lose out on at least some portion of East Coast talent as a result. Hopefully this allows them to have the best of both worlds.

- onepointsixC 5y agoThe US gov is seriously under investing compared to it's peers.

The author uses South Korea as a few of his examples, too.
- onepointsixC 5y agoThanks for the recommendation! You mention that it uses South Korea, does it talk about Shipbuilding? The United States used to be a global ship building giant, but after Regan unilaterally reduced subsidies, it got completely crushed by state subsidized Japanese, Korean, and now Chinese shipbuilders. It's gotten so bad that it's a real national security risk in terms of industrial capability.
