Forum Overview :: American McGee's Honda Civic :: CHIPS act

[quote name="William J. Jefferson (pseudonym)"]The CHIPS for America Act was designed to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S. The act is aimed at competing with China. Many conservative Republicans aren't informed enough to understand that the United States has an adversarial relationship with China. As computer processors are critical to the continued security of the United States and its supply lines, it was obvious that manufacturing of these chips needed to come back to US soil. I will differ with the bill in one respect. I would have advocated coercing Intel to move manufacturing back to the US on their own dime, and if they didn't get it done in a year, nationalize the company and throw its leadership in prison. To be honest, their inability to stand behind their products, leaving consumers to hopefully (not) figure out that they got a trash CPU should have the executives and board in prison anyway. Oh. Is that too radical for you? ;) Better hope I don't get elected to the office I'm running for then. [/quote]
