Listen, I absolutely get it.Intelhas not had a good second half of 2024.

America first
What does Intel mean for the US economy and military?
TSMC has exactly one semiconductor foundry in the US, in Arizona.
Yeah, that’s a problem for the US.
As such, Intel is never going to be bought out by a foreign company.
It’s a fundamental national security issue that no American president or Congress will accept.
Intel will be fully nationalized before that ever happens.

Intel’s competition helps keep Intel sharp.
It just won’t happen.

They produce America’s weapons, and so every American government will always buy their products.
Intel itself started off in a similar situation.
