What a great time for governments to be pumping taxpayer money into new chip factories!

Did Samsung even get any of that money? You can shit on corporate subsidies all you want but these are good paying jobs for the folks who work at these plants here in the US.

Are you as upset about farm subsidies? Honest question.

Of course. For one thing, they are a blight on third world countries, who are often dependent on agriculture. Rich countries subsidizing their own farmers directly harms economic development in poorer countries that have fewer resources with which to respond. The subsidies also lead to overproduction in rich countries, and thus needless environmental destruction.
