Genuine question-

How does Govt picking winners and losers going to help?

Intel is no Too big to fail Bank. Why save Intel of all chip manufacturers? Wouldnt it be like 25 years too late, with Intel and its heydays !?

Would Govt now ensure parity by investing in "marquee" entities across different industrial domains?

US wants to maintain chip manufacturing presence and expertise within the borders, so saving everyone would achieve the goal but at a higher cost, so they're just focusing on the US ones in trouble.
