Intel, Micron, Global Foundries, Polar Semiconductor, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Samsung, BAE Systems, and Microchip Technology have been the direct beneficiaries of the law.
This was supposed to be one of the “Crown Jewels” of the Biden-Harris admin. A massive job creator that would allow America to take back its technological leadership.
Intel was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Chips Act, receiving an $8.5 billion grant announced in March, a $25 billion sweetheart tax incentive and likely the lion’s share of an $11 billion federal loan program. That’s only the opening act.
What did we get in exchange? Intel this week announced it was laying off 15% of its workforce — 15,000!
Meh, This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with half a brain.
Every single act/program/bill is nothing more than a grift operation to benefit those involved
But the American people are pacified consumers who are content to be enslaved so long as they have Marvel movies and slop in their shopping cart.
Just follow the money:
