Because I doubt the semiconductor industry is the only industry complaining about this. Tourism? How about the actual citizens? Shipping and transportation? Talent in software that just want nothing more than to leave the country when they get a chance?

Rebuilding is important because the major population centers have already been defined. Otherwise you’d need an exodus every time a new city is built.

What does any of that have to do with semiconductor manufacturing? You can have the best tourism, quality of life and everything else, and still not be able to build stuff domestically. Look at the USA, for example.

The USA is the victim of having a reserve currency though. It's simply not economically viable to export products from a nation when every other nation wants to dump their products into that nation.
