Every time a US company raises its streaming prices on me, I cancel and resubscribe from Bangladesh. Today it's Spotify's turn; they used to get $12.99 a month from me, but will be getting ~$2.40 a month going forward.

CHIPS critics say it won't work because U.S. lacks a semiconductor workforce. This is circular. U.S. lost that workforce because industry expatriated itself. How do you bring that workforce back if TSMC et al don't start building in U.S.?
