Trump tweet:
It is my Great Honor to report that the United States of America now fully owns and controls 10% of INTEL, a Great American Company that has an even more incredible future. I negotiated this Deal with Lip-Bu Tan, the Highly Respected Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The United States paid nothing for these Shares, and the Shares are now valued at approximately $11 Billion Dollars. This is a great Deal for America and, also, a great Deal for INTEL. Building leading edge Semiconductors and Chips, which is what INTEL does, is fundamental to the future of our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The way This Guy capitalizes Random Words drives me INSANE.
If you wanna be president of the United States, you should at least learn the language.

How is it a great deal for Intel?

He just nationalized Intel. That's what conservatives are afraid of far left governments doing.
"Nationalized" with a heavy dose of quote marks. The government now owns about 10% of Intel in non-voting shares. It's basically meaningless.

Right when I was thinking of buying an intel cpu and gpu to support the company and do my little part in helping increase competition in the cpu and gpu sector. Guess I will stick with amd this time around.

A ten percent stake in the company and suddenly those concerning Chinese ties Trump mentioned aren’t a thing.

Now do that with Exxon Mobil, Chevron and ConocoPhillips

buying stock with the people's money just in time for a recession
As far as government bail outs go, I think taking a portion of the company in exchange is an excellent idea. THIS orange asshole is doing it for all the wrong reasons, and will VERY likely fuck up literally everything about it, but the idea is sound.
I wonder what things would look like today if the government had taken some portion of control over all the auto manufacturers, airlines, banks, etc it has bailed out over the years instead of just giving them unsecured loans

Also interested in seeing. I've had weekly reoccurring purchases of Intel since their bottom dropped. My investment probably shit the bed.

The United States will not seek direct representation on Intel's board
If they want change, they don't to vote on the board. They can just pass laws in Intel's favour.
Taxpayers are now all Intel shareholders. I can't understand what benefit this provides them.

Fucking hilarious that this is party that starts seizing the means of production.
It was never, ever even once about states rights. It was never about fighting communism. It’s all racism, always has been.

Somehow this is okay but bailing out GM was a problem.

you raise interesting questions. how do you stop some asshole president from using infinite taxpayer money to manipulate the price of a stock?

Further, he killed all trust in Intel. Now, no one will believe that there are no government back doors into everything they make.
Intel is a us corporate they do as the US spooks tell them to do.
That's national security laws.
-
Yes. It is.
Excalty like China.
Is giving Intel freekmey better?

Us Treasury is providing capital... Hardly seizing anything.
Maybe if intel was ran into the ground by idiots. They wouldn't need to be bailed out by feds.

Better than giving away billions of dollars no string attached

The same way SEC stops market markers from manipulating the stocks

They are open enough about thinking some kind of late USSR, fixed against its deadlocks and broken feedback, would be the best system for them. I mean, having a one party system is very attractive, LOL.
And yeah, that crowd is about seizing whatever they want to build their idea of a better nation, with re-industrializing and so on. There are pits on the road, though.
And, honestly, never in history were many US politicians willing for the USSR to die as it did. They would, of course, ridicule the broken system and ideology, but the whole idea seemed more understandable than most European nations. And flattering.
It was never, ever even once about states rights. It was never about fighting communism. It’s all racism, always has been.
It's honestly funny, so - in Eastern Europe, when comparing ourselves to the USA, it's very easy to get sympathetic to these points. Also to color blindness and being against affirmative action, and such.
Because information travels non-linearly. From here many people really think that the racism problem is solved in the US, and it's just lazy Blacks not willing to work honestly, and that last point is racist, but if you say that American racists still think it's wrong for a white person to marry a black person, those same people won't believe you, it's not part of their own kind of racism, or that American racists actually exist in huge enough numbers, they think it's like calling others fascists here, something devalued by common usage. They'd be livid.
So - what I'm thinking is that USSR's dead hand was, in fact, not its nuclear shield, but its ideology and state architecture, and some people want to break their own bad, but functional system in favor of their imaginary picture of USSR. Which is just as detached from reality. USSR's checks and balances had a downside of stalling development and conserving the balance of power, nothing big got actually done. It would seem that they might actually come to the same result with far less blood, jump to 1960s USSR without a passing through 1920s-1950s, but wasting a few decades on that with a pretty clear end result would seem a bad idea.
That's about political systems, arguing against my imagination on what they think. With re-industrialization I agree completely. In general, oursourcing labor is directly opposed to labor rights, and labor rights are what guarantees political rights.

10% is not "nationalized". It's "19.99% nationalized". Need to have a majority stake (like 50.01%) to call it "nationalized".
Or maybe I'm wrong.
