How will bureaucrats burn the next few billions of taxpayer money? * spins roulette *

Bitcoin!

Devtools!

How about lowering taxes? Have they ever considered aligning with the rest of the world to make it easier to do business, or they pretend to succeed being approximately the most hostile region for businesses?

A new chip foundry entirely paid with tax payers money, and where the profits will go to a private corporation? (the 'socialize losses, privatize profits')

"The @EU_Commission announced a new European Chips Act, in order to jointly create a state-of-the-art European #chip ecosystem including production."

At this point with chip shortages it’s in EU’s interest to attract businesses to build it. Even if it costs us to build it, overall we’ll benefit from it. How much is lost due to stopped Audi plants?

Of all the institutions to promote a uncensorable web it is the EU?!

Talking about Gaslighting.

Who knows, it could be a gentle attempt at keeping talent from leaving, or FOMO because every other important nation is doing crypto-stuff and lastly, and naturally, the sheer incompetence of this overextended bureaucracy where one tentacle doesn't know what the other tentacles want to ban
