He's not wrong, but it stems from lack of political will/actively benefitting from the status quo, not from inability.

Well yeah, but he's knows that too.

edit: he's basically doing the eric andre shooting things meme. "How could the government (me) do this???"

Does anyone have a good article on the IRA/CHIPS and what it's results actually are? Everything I can find is just empty press releases from ghoulish NGOs. It seems like it was just a handout to capital.
