idk about the Infrastructure Act, but for the CHIPs Act, the money that was dispersed was a drop in the bucket and didn't really help all that much. It may seem like it given that it seemed like an absurd amount of money. But consider how much money Taiwan throws into it's Chip industry.
Do you work in the industry? It seems like you don't. My company does a ton of contracting for chip manufacturers and we are absolutely swamped for the next 5 years due to the CHIPs Act. If you live in Ohio, Oregon or Arizona your local economy is definitely getting a huge bump.
