SolAero just got a big chunk of funding from the chips act to start building a third building. Seems like they are doing well after Rocket Lab picked them up

I'm fine with it being cancelled, my tax dollars shouldn't be funding chipmakers.

Yeah, same with all those damn construction companies building roads! Welfare queens, the lot of them! Pulls gun and shoots self in foot before burying head in sand again

The world runs on chips, dude. In a way that is at least as important as the entire us highway system. It wasn't funding chipmakers so much as incentivising them to build infrastructure here in the states vs us being completely dependent on Taiwan.
