Indeed. It's very odd. Can't these immensely successful companies fund their own fab?
Perhaps if US taxpayers were to be shareholders in the fab then that would be fair -- sharing reward as well as risk.
To be fair though, if these companies (and the USA itself) are competing against subsidies offered by some foreign governments then this might just make sense.

Do you mean the link in the first two words?
But besides trying to annoy you a bit... yes, I agree. A (at least) two liner description when someone speaks about something is a must. You can't take as granted that everyone who will read the article will know what you are telling.

Quite as an aside:
Forty Three years and it still working. One must assume it has no Chinese-made components.
It reminds me of a time when if you bought something your (1) expected it to work, and (2) expected it to last longer than the box it came in. I guess QC must have really meant something way back then . . . perhaps "Quality Control" ?

And washing machines have a life span of 10 years 
It's easier to "live long and prosper" in space, since there's little stuff to interact with, little wear, and definetely no artificially limited lifespan. Lots of that stuff needs be replaced in a few years, where they could last 3 to 4 times that long with easier repairs.
For those factories proud of their A-label producing washing machines that are "green" and environmental friendly - elephant you, you hippocrites.
