wsj pointed out earlier hard to convince capital to follow national security, kinda like grantham devel's bargain that cost of capital doesn't account for common sense

Hard but not impossible. For example, tax breaks and debt guarantees.

yeah that lowers your cost of capital but doesn't solve fundamental discounting issue that in the long term we all dead (at certain period terminal value is zero) // solution here is complete regulation, ie government decides where to buy and where to invest or 'natural monopoly style' which might be constitutional doubt can work with leading edge tech. Historically there was a case of nuclear research & industry which (the case) was very easy to build during the actual war, now AI/ML at the stage hard to show it's =a national security threat

Guaranteed long term governmental purchasing contracts.

A slippery slope for sure but we're navigating many of those last 15 years.

China can at any point take over or destroy the advanced chips manufacturing in Taiwan. What will we do in this case?

Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

«Капитал, - говорит „Quarterly Review“, - избегает шума и брани и отличается боязливой натурой». Это правда, но это ещё не вся правда. Капитал боится отсутствия прибыли или слишком маленькой прибыли, как природа боится пустоты. Но раз имеется в наличии достаточная прибыль, капитал становится смелым. Обеспечьте 10 процентов, и капитал согласен на всякое применение, при 20 процентах он становится оживлённым, при 50 процентах положительно готов сломать себе голову

Я слегка обрезал цитату, чтобы выделить лишь нужное нам сейчас. Два века назад люди уже всё поняли.
