I don't think Intel is going to train a new skilled workforce. Their domestic hiring is minimal. Like the rest of tech these bills are leveraging work visas that ensure the Corp has feudal control over their workers.

The right thing to do is to block these big waves and force global competition.

Who would the competition be between?

Right now the high-end fabrication competition is TMSC, Samsung, and Intel. All three are supported by nations. The idea that we should just let the freemarket handle the issue doesn't feel grounded in practicality.
