    I don’t even know what we should do at this point. I feel like the only way to get another real player at the same level of TSMC is to dump an insane amount of money into the problem, but even that’s not guaranteed to work. Also, by the time you catch up to TSMC, they’ll probably drop some new tech and leave you in the dust again.

      The barriers to entry (even if you have a large amount of capital are simply too high).

      That being said, Intel was the undisputed leader of semiconductor fabrication for over a decade before TSMC took the lead.
