So they got all that money from Uncle Sam's CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves "lean". Govt funded unemployment.

That's the justification. Don't you know what kind of people gets into high governmental positions?

Making some friends rich was the reason.

Still, this sucks huge donkey balls, a lot of very smart and very knowledgeable people, maybe more valuable than a 100 (ok, maybe 10, or maybe 5, it's a rhetorical device) copies of me, work in such inefficient structures, while there could have been a dozen TSMCs over the world with their competencies.

I have come to agree that nations have interests, but their governmental structures generally work against those. There's a wheel to be invented there.
