Great content but poorly written, makes it hard to read. Good story though!

Assuming this passes, this could be what helps push GloFo back into competition somewhat, at 7nm and beyond. The main reason they stopped in the first place was due to a lack of sufficient financial investment to help expand and upgrade their fabs to include 7nm without cutting down their mature 14nm process. Sure, they won't be cutting edge, but being on a relatively modern node like 7nm and having some backing to develop or license sub-7nm nodes, even if it's first use is government, could help push them back into the spotlight alongside Samsung, TSMC, and Intel.
