It's nice to see this case being brought.

I hope it ends up doing something for the insane hardware costs. If nothing else, I'd hope that the old production lines can be stood up by other companies if Hynix and Micron can't be arsed to continue.

    If this doesn't lead anywhere, we'll probably have to wait until 2029 when a competent governmental department free of corruption could possibly appear.

    It's a lot more work to remove corruption than it is to introduce it. Changing the political orientation of the the ruling majority is not even guaranteed to want to fix this. It's a people problem, not a political problem.
