Uh, yeah, you didn't realise it was a scam when all the politicians trying to get that bill passed had investments in the companies getting the money?

The US Govt regularly robs the tax paying people to give kickbacks to their corporate allies. It's just business as usual

The US needs a chip fabrication factory. The money is being used to build it. This has no relevance to the the 3000 workers who were laid off

Then they can build one for the people by the people. Nothing says they need to give money to private orgs to secure fundamental national technology.

With all the things we book under the "National Security" banner a much needed next gen chip factory should be one of them.

This is a terrible idea. Imagine if the same people who bring you the DMV try to make a chip plant

They are using that money to build a chip plant not to subsidize 3000 workers.

That chip plant will be the factory of the future. However:

“The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment” – Warren G. Bennis.
