for some reason
Perhaps seeing your government continually use your tax money to bail out industry that has no tangible benefit to anything but the stock market while fighting against every penny directly invested into the taxed populace colors peoples’ perception a bit.
I disagree with the "no tangible" benefit part, the Worlds economy was about to completely collapse, if you think things are bad now I am sure it could have been much much worse, possibly ww3 post apocalyptic hell-hole.
I do agree the US government sucks and should have implemented more regulations after and fucked up when they didn't. But on the other hand, you guys are the ones with a Fascist government so you do keep electing these people.

Yes, I know I didn’t address nuance of economy and labor market in the curtness of my reply. But that is often poorly communicated or not at all, so we just see another private entity getting our money gratis or with very low interest.
Add onto that the de facto American policy that private citizens are on their own, circumstances be damned, while the capitalist interests get rescued every time their greed and other missteps hurt their ability to compete in the sacred free market and maybe you can see why people are less than charitable with how they perceive these events.

I think you arguing perception and I am arguing disinformation or lack of information as in if you went around the streets and asked some people whether the bailout money was paid back you'd get more people thinking it was just given to them.

Wow. Throw 16M people off health care, then invest the 'savings' in corporations. HEy, Intel, how do you like your blood money?
Historical evidence would seem to suggest that Intel very much do like their blood money I would imagine they would like some more please.

This is why I don't like trump being called a nazi, a nazi was a nickname for the german fascist based on the name of the political party NSDAP, specifically the N part, National with the ti part being pronounced the same as the zi part in nazi.
Trump is an american fascist. When you call him a nazi it paints the picture of the ultra villified almost over the top hollywood nazi and it muddies the water and lets other fascist media pundits dismiss it over exaggeration.
Now after being pedantic I prefer these lists tlto check if you live in a fascist state

Spoiler alert: the US is under control of a fascist government.
Nazis are a particularly evil type of fascist. It is the entire point of the label.

Healthcare could help, that's good socialism. Intel is profits and power and control for the sake of it. That's bad socialism.
That way when things fuck up they can point and go SEE SEE IT DOESNT WORK! WE TRIED IT AND IT MADE THINGS WORSE!!
and if it somehow does manage to help or improve things they can now claim they did something smart and take all the credit.
Well, no. In this case it's probably Intel is collapsing I assume, and they're the only CPU producer native to the US. It'd be a really bad thing strategically to let them fail, so they should be nationalized.

Seems like the government owning private industry might stray into the socialism thing thy hate. Why not do this with something more important like healthcare? Republicans are hypocrites.
We’ve always had communism for the rich and cutthroat capitalism for the working class
-
Well, yeah, they always do. Republican admins always leave the economy in the shitter and saddle the nation up with debt so that the incoming Democratic admin has to spend all of their time bringing the economy back up to speed rather than implementing effective reform.
And then Fox runs nonstop debt fear mongering and blaming democrats for the fiscal irresponsibly of the republicans

Heck, as long as they keep being good competition for AMD so they don't become complacent, they can get the souls of the damned as payment for all I care.

Our healthcare system in the US is Socialism, only the government funds the corporations with subsidies, not paying outright for the citizens. It's a man in the middle system where they stick a middle finger up your ass to get money from you three times. With taxes, with insurance, and with actual medical care.
-
Yes but contrary to China, USA doesn't use government subsidies to promote their own industries, or state owned companies to spy on the rest of the world. 🤪
/SI hope Intel survives because a Chinese (mainland+Taiwan) monopoly will not be good, but I am so sick of American disinformation regarding China. Always blaming China for things USA has been guilty of for decades before China.
Are you sure about that? US hardware is spying on the rest of the world for decades. Cisco is in no way better then huawei.

Can you not see the crazy smiley? Clearly indicating the statement is crazy. It was sarcasm, but OK I'll add the /S.
Also the part that USA did it for decades before China should clearly indicate the part above was sarcasm???

Uhhh, so much for the free market Republicans spent decades championing
beat me to it

Reading comprehension is a skill. It seems like some people just glance at the words and make up what they expect to see. I have no idea how your comment could have been interpreted the way they did without a total disregard for the substance. Maybe they were reading it through an auto translation? Still, seems like the emoji is pretty obvious.

That might be how you are supposed to read that response

OK that could have been stated more clearly, but why should I be against Intel, because USA has used Cisco for spying?
That's exactly the kind of stupid accusations without evidence I'm tired of USA making against China. Obviously the same standard goes the other way too.
And if Intel goes away, USA can still do it through AMD.

government owning the means of production?

I don't think the souls of the damned are up for grabs, since, you know, they're damned and all.

The market would be freer if it wasn’t dominated by a couple capitalist megacorpos. So nationalisation doesn’t mean less freedom, although neolib propaganda would love you to think so.

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.
