I’ve met one person whose job was funded via the CHIPS act - she was a lawyer. I bet China’s first priority when building semiconductors isn’t hiring lawyers.

- earlyreturns 11mo agoWhere are the CHIPs then? Oh but at least our infrastructure was rebuilt. Right?
- smallmancontrov 11mo agoIn the google results, if you had bothered to google. It turns out $50B was enough to tip the investment calculus on half a dozen large projects and a dozen or so smaller ones. So tell me: was it learned helplessness or partisan hackery that made you severely underestimate what turned out to be possible?
- earlyreturns 11mo agoMy opinion comes from my personal experience with CHiPs funded projects but admittedly thats merely anecdotal knowledge so I’m very glad to hear that Biden’s “biggest ever!”(tm) inflation reduction package met its goals and wasn’t just money printing and political cronyism. Imagine where we would be without all those new chip fabs and infrastructure fixes you mentioned finding in your Google search. You’re right, that was 50 billion, give or take, well spent!
- smallmancontrov 11mo agoTSMC Arizona Gigafab, Intel's Chandler fabs, Micron's Boise megafab, these are all giant buildings full of equipment cranking out chips or credibly preparing to. I'd hazard a guess that more than lawyers were involved. Oh, but trollbridge saw a lawyer once! That's it, phone it in, shut it all down, corruption proven, the gigantic buildings must be all be a mirage. Trollbridge saw a lawyer and that disproves everything! Troll harder lol.
