That is a befuddling naive take. Why make any progress at any point if we were fine before that progress? As many things should be static as possible, no matter

That is a befuddling naive take. Why make any progress at any point if we were fine before that progress? As many things should be static as possible, no matter what might happen in the future? Situations change. I seem to recall a presidential candidate recently claiming that they wanted to bring manufacturing back to the states. Chip manufacturing seems like it would fall under the category of manufacturing. At this point we're just throwing away money already spent, which doesn't seem particularly efficient, which this administration is obsessed with, given the creation of an entirely new department/not-really-a-department to increase efficiency.
