    Dude, I appreciate the ever-loving f*** out of you actually taking the time to compile this, and a site sources. This is genuinely what I was hoping to get out of the thread ( all of the haterade was just… An unhealthy bonus, I guess?) And I’ll be diving into those links.

    I sometimes feel torn about these kinds of market consolidation issues, because it’s certainly not Samsung or skhynix’s fault there are no at-scale fabs from first party American brands, and that both until and AMD did everything in their power to reduce domestic production and spin off their own Fab facilities for literally anyone else to manage wherever possible.

    It’s Red Lobster and every other Private Equity managed restaurant chain becoming a real estate holding company, just with a lot more electrons.

    But it’s not like TSMC or SK Hynix did this to us, and it’s on all of the consumers to keep the board partners and oackagers honest.

    Thst said, I tend to think consolidation is universally bad, absent any nationalization of infrastructure, and my country has this same nightmare playing out with its housing as Blackrock and other equity groups have make a clear effort to force all of us to be perpetual renters.

    We in this thread are likely universally in agreement about the problems at hand. I respect that you cut across my bullshit and everyone else’s to actually bring citations and thoughts. Cheers.
