    Yeah, and generally governments around the world pay a lot of subsidies to all kinda of industries. There are a lot of jobs on that, not just the factory itself, but the whole structure around it that delivers parts and services to the factory. Then you want to secure some important technologies and productions in your country.

    E.g. in Germany we are going to invest a lot in semiconductor factories. We won’t see a direct return in tax from those factories for quite a while or even ever. However, securing that technology and production in the country is worth it.
