This article in today's NY Times leaves me quite puzzled. They can weasel all around it all they want, but this indeed is picking winners and losers. Don't some of these semiconductor and chip companies already make a ton of profits? And like the article suggests, tech industry sharks will be circling the waters for more handouts, just like companies did for coronavirus "relief". Looks a lot like the typical public investment followed by privatized profits. Whenever politicians tak about making investments and turning them over to private companies so they can "create jobs", color me skeptical.
