How is it fair to just give so much of taxpayers money to a specific company? Why not to AMD or Nvidia?

How is it fair to just give so much of taxpayers money to a specific company? Why not to AMD or Nvidia?
- tpetry 2y agoBecause AMD and Nvidia don‘t have their on Fabs.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoBut they would build them with that money. That's what it's for.
- LMYahooTFY 2y agoNo, they wouldn't. That wouldn't even build them one fab, let alone summon all of the talent and supply chain out of thin air.
- high_na_euv 2y agoLol? No, wtf Also 8bn is like 1/3 of modern fab
- fourfour3 2y agoI’m not convinced either of them would even want to. AMD used to have fabs - they spun them off a long time ago as GlobalFoundries. They’re no longer competitive with TSMC, Samsung, or even Intel for modern nodes.
