“The global memory shortage will likely require a whole-of-government approach to solve. The answer to high memory prices is not dependence on subsidized Chinese chips but expanded manufacturing capacity, which will lower costs for US companies and consumers for decades rather than months"

It's not like lawmakers could go after the AI bros who's reservations of years worth of memory manufacturing is the sole reason for the shortage. That would be socialist /s.
