      Yes it will not end well because Amurica will put a crater in the middle of the fab if it ever becomes viable.

        America will 100% not do that, unless they want matching craters in all of their fabs, or worse, in Taiwan’s.

          Of course Amurica will not do it themselves, Amurica will outsource the job to someone else.
