This is fantastic. Being dependent on other countries for 90% of our chips is a vulnerability that most people don't understand but should.

Besides big companies like Intel, there are hundreds of smaller companies that support fabs and the major equipment companies. Due to the extremely strict quality standards, the workers in these companies are typically well paid.

This is a necessary, worthwhile investment.

@philip_cardella @TonyStark excellent point indeed. Every time people dive into these subjects they want to make them extremely simplistic then the reality is quite complicated.

Today someone accused me of stealing a joke that I posted. I told them I write everything I post myself and asked if they could show me the original joke that they thought I stole. I guess they were unable to find it, and naturally, instead of admitting they were wrong they proceeded to block me. I am many things (a fiend, a heathen, a self-proclaimed titan of industry, etc.) but I am no joke thief.
