Silly Biden, only providing capitalist incentives with the CHIPS Act. He should've just started buying processor companies, like a proper Maoist. /s

Not exactly a Dem, but Sanders did voice his support for this a few days back

Then why Redditors has issue with it? Are we just anti everything trump does even if it's left leaning policy?

Are we just anti everything trump dies even if it's left leaning policy?

Yes.

Also to be fair, knowing Trump's business record he's probably one of the worst people to have any say in how Intel operates, and that's saying something considering how Intel's board has been mismanaging the company for years at this point

Yeah that company is a sinking ship one way or the other. I just thought if Obama or Joe Biden did the same thing Redditers would most likely applauded for it lol

With Trump anything he does is for himself, not for the good of the country. Remember he still has our country’s economy in a stranglehold with his illegal tariffs

Well if Bernie vetted and supports it I trust that it's a good policy for the socialist point of view regardless who was doing it.

It's just kinda feel ridiculous both left and right wing supporters are literally using each other's traditional talking point to support / against this thing, both sides doing mental gymnastics just because of Trump's the one doing it 💀💀💀

Redditors on the left can be for this policy while simultaneously be for calling out the hypocrisy of the right when tomorrow they will continue complaining about their socialist/communist opponents.

I am not a republican nor a democrat and I don’t support the government direct involvement in private business. I think if maga thinks this is ok then they truly want our country to burn. And Newsome is correct in his trolling tweet but I doubt the maga base will understand as they aren’t big on critical thinking.

I don't really get this. Weren't the Dems trying to give Intel money basically for free? Isn't it better to at least get some ownership of Intel for that money? I mean, doing neither would probably be better...
