    The tech isn’t the hurdle. The industrial capacity is. It’s not a good investment due to time and cost of building another full facility. That’s why the Biden Administration was so gung ho about the subsidies and tax incentives in the CHIPS act; a government actor is needed to make the math make sense.

      Absolutely, I agree with that but if Apple are the only ones that can use this tech as was suggested by another commentor then they should be made share the tech for the sake of innovation and progress.

      I agree with government intervention here but think the Biden admin went a ways into protectionism which is a different conversation. I don’t think these Fabs are going out of date anytime soon so we should be building them globally, we are screaming out for more chips and the more that are built the cheaper they will get.
