Licking County (next-gen, post-18A) has already broken ground and is in assembly, Magdeburg and Ireland (18A) also well underway and in production. Arizona's 20A facility (Fab 52 and Fab 62) have been done for half a year and are already in tape out. Not sure what is up for debate here, you can't really hide a $5BN infrastructure project from the public. I think it's safe to say that 80BN+ in subsidies are already well in the process of being deployed. Intel, along with Samsung and TSMC, are heavily subsidized and have been so for a very long time. Any government with modest intelligence understands the gravity of having microchip manufacturing secured.
