> I hope Intel keeps its US-based fabs and continues to upgrade them. It would be a mistake to cede this capacity to outsourcing like so much of our other manufacturing capacity.

Intel is a publicly traded internationally-owned corporation, with no obligations to the long-term welfare of the United States.

If you'd like a chip manufacturer to make decisions based on what is good for the US, I would recommend bribing it, nationalizing it, or starting a government-backed competitor.

Any of those would be more effective at accomplishing this than hope and prayers. The free market itself is not necessarilly going to deliver the results you wish for, just because you wish for them.
