Companies receiving US government subsidies should manufacture finished goods domestically (or with its allies where not otherwise possible). Especially companies of strategic national interest.

Intel wants a multi-billion dollar grant/bailout from Uncle Sam. Make onshoring of manufacturing a condition of receiving such funds.

Furthermore, I posted a tax advantage system in a sibling thread that would help encourage other companies to do the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29892031

Remove taxes from positive externalities. Attach conditions to bailouts/grants. Use money to force the outcomes you want.
