Why is this downvoted? Isn't ArsTechnica a trusted tech news site? It is not controversial even if it has a neolib/neocon leaning -I can never tell the two apart-.

So they took ~~-government-~~ taxpayers' money to create jobs. But instead spent it on stock buybacks. And now they are lying off thousands of workers because they need money?

We all knew the CHIPS Act was a scam, but I didn't expect it to be obvious this fast. I thought they would be more tacit about it.
