“With multi-billion-dollar grants to [chip makers], the US govt has spent over half its $39bn in Chips Act incentives”
“This won’t mean complete self-sufficiency. Production of smartphones and consumer electronics would be disrupted in the event of a crisis in east Asia”
BILLIONS of dollars in grants are not enough to make the US self-sufficient.
Meanwhile a few dozens of millions going to @gnome and @postmarketOS would make the US and EU much less vulnerable.
