&gt;Without presidential action under the act, &quot;United States industry cannot reasonably be expected to provide the capability for the needed industrial resource, material, or critical technology item in a timely manner,&quot; Biden wrote in the memo.<p>How can anyone compete with jlcpcb and the like where you can order $2 five !8! layer boards. Compare <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.4pcb.com&#x2F;pcb-prototype-2-4-layer-boards-specials.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.4pcb.com&#x2F;pcb-prototype-2-4-layer-boards-specials...</a> to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cart.jlcpcb.com&#x2F;quote?orderType=1&amp;stencilLayer=6&amp;stencilWidth=50&amp;stencilLength=50" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cart.jlcpcb.com&#x2F;quote?orderType=1&amp;stencilLayer=6&amp;ste...</a> Even without $2 deal US offer is up to 100 times more expensive. JLPCB is ridiculously automated and optimized for cost, US companies dont even try mostly targeting expensive consultants and military contractors.
