All semi manufacturers are getting subsidies.. tsmc and samsung have contributions measured in percentage of gdp of the respective countries. Its hard to believe they are not getting any

Finally the government is doing something good; paying chip manufacturers so I can get paid a million dollars a year to use O(n^2) algorithms everywhere!
