Better than just giving them a free bailout, I guess. With how reliant we've become on computers it's become a matter of national security.



Another case of Republicans doing things they would accuse Democrats of doing.



As long as it doesn't become a trend or the norm, because that's how 'Jhina' operates, does it not?

Blue team is being destroyed by the orange team, yet is being saved by the orange man. Oh the oxidizing irony...

Plus if Intel is doing well later down the road, the US government will get some dividends out of them and can sell them later in a pinch.

I was gonna say, yeah for a party that's outspoken in its opposition to communism, this seems kinda communist lmao



Guess its time to try and avoid buying Intel parts as much possible.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This has to be this free market thing that conservatives keep yelling about.

Better than letting them go under. Hopefully intel turns things around.
