   @hipsterelectron @foolishowl https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/7178 Goes to show the CHIPS act didn't pass during an election year. Not even as a win for Trump. Took 2 more years to get it passed. Under Biden.
   Also look at group pushed it the most, Republicans. And TSMC started to the idea of a fab in the US during Trump's term too https://www.reuters.com/article/technology/taiwans-tsmc-to-build-arizona-chip-plant-as-us-china-tech-rivalry-escalates-idUSKBN22Q38T/

   The whole thing is a big mess.

     @hipsterelectron @foolishowl There were signs back in 2018 about Intel being broken too:

     @hipsterelectron @foolishowl Intel first said 10nm was delay until 2016 even:

     Looking back now reading these articles shows Intel had troubles long long before. And Intel just a fucked up company.
