In efforts to curb the semiconductor shortage and jumpstart the technology industry, the United States Congress passed legislation that includes funding for manufacturing semiconductors.

It might be an understatement to suggest that things don’t always go smoothly in business. The truth is that when one problem is solved, another is often created.
