Imagine bribing politicians to get tax breaks as those same politicians start to take more of a cut than the other side would have taxed you. I'm starting to think everyone that is rich and powerful are also incredibly stupid.

Better for intel than not receiving $8B at all. It can avoid spending it on Ohio plant without upsetting politicians if no one wants to use Ohio made chips. But its not as though telecom companies ever faced real consequences for pocketing "rural broadband subsidies".
The best part about this, is political campaigns surrounded on confiscatory nationalization of climate terrorists and zionazi first political party influence is normalized.
Reminds me of the Dictator/Couper Park Chung Hee in South Korea. At the time government subsidies propped up South Koreas economy. But Park was directly commanding military before, in difference to Trump.
Cool, now do Duke Energy. And Exelon. And Entergy. Etc. (Not that I trust this admin ofc, but if you want collective ownership...)
OpenAI next. You don't want AI but you will pay for it in taxes.
isnt intel kinda dying with the latest fiasco with thier chips.
Funny thing is, their GPU division is making fine products especially in the bang-for-buck consumer category and their Wi-Fi modules are good. Weirdly enough, because driver and API support for the GTX-10 series cards is starting to age out, I'm considering putting an Intel GPU in a system with an AMD CPU for my HTPC.
The CPU side of the business is totally screwed though; they've been doomed since someone at AMD first said the word "Ryzen."
Their networking cards are great too. They just can't come up with any answer to Ryzen.
i see.
My government, picking winners and losers?
