but almost the same thing, really.
I do not ordinarily support more government involvement in anything much more than defense.
If this step was really necessary to keep Intel in business in USA, then OKay. We need this technology (including for defense). Besides, a government that kept us sitting on the hallway floor outside the Sociable Insecurity office for 7 hours just to show a driver license to a clerk, is not a paragon of managerial proficiency. And why couldn’t our immense private capital markets have taken care of this? Are our capital markets as Kaput as Intel allegedly was??? This could be the larger story, really...
I will want to see the feds sell the shares to American investors ASAP.
