    There was a hackernews post about purdue university offering a Semiconductor Degree Program in the US and the comments were full of people talking about how the pay for this type of highly skilled labor is extremely low and how people shouldn't do it, but then in the same breath praises american exceptialism and how great it'll be to break foreign dependence. This whole semiconductor investment bill is basically a jobs program and the only people buying those chips will be the US government because they are the only ones who are xenophobic enough to actually care where chips come from.
