...The moment this government starts placing a direct profit incentive to give grants, its motives are corrupt and it’s no longer doing its job. But maybe I’m wrong and venture capitalists have been fighting enshitification this whole time…
I can't wait for the federal government to start expecting a share of the tolls on expressways and bike paths funded at least in part by federal grants.

The benefit of the grant is not limited to the profit the company, but also included having the ability to make and design chips in the US, employing all those people, keeping an industry with an evolving technology in the US so we aren't shut out later.
