Microchips and memory chips are a major factor in consumer prices. Everything from phones to refrigerators to cars to home appliances now have these chips inside of them. Unfortunately, these chips are also needed in Ai. The Ai boom is causing a chip shortage that is having an impact on many other products. For example, Micro was a recipient of subsidies via the CHIPS act. They received the taxpayer cash, then they decided to focus on Ai chips instead and sacrificed capacity for other consumer goods, creating a shortage in those sectors. We can see this trickling into the inflation stats for consumer goods. Is it right for Micron to take subsidies, meant to increase chip capacity for American consumer goods, then have the CEO Sanjay Mehrora shift his focus instead to the Ai market? If a company like Micro is going to accept the money from the CHIPS act, it should have been used for the intended purpose.(Wall Street Mav)
