'We bought 600 train engines and 8000 rail cars, because we will probably figure out how to build 800,000 miles of new rail lines, somewhere, at some point.'

'Also the train engines and rail cars we bought are guaranteed to be horrendously inefficent within 2 years.'

'Also also, the train engines are highly fuel intensive and no we are not planning to fund any new fuel production.'

'We are very smart.'

'Why yes, our future rail line traffic demand projections are based on the "thoughts and prayers" model, thanks for asking!'

    The big difference is that rail lines and rail cars will have value for many decades after being built. Meanwhile, chips are a notoriously depreciating asset that's likely to become worthless in a year or two.
