Curious what others think about this but… if we are giving taxpayer grants to Intel in exchange for “national security” which is a fair argument in my view, why not get something in exchange for those grants or just not give the grants at all? I see merit in giving grants, I also see merit in requiring an equity stake as well.
For the communists isn’t this exactly what you want? State ownership of the means of production? Shouldn’t you be cheering Trump on for nationalizing corporations and/or industries or at least heading in that direction? Or is the primary criticism he isn’t nationalizing industries fast enough?

Depends on how soon will we see Baron or some other dimwit on Intel Board or in executive position.

What communists do you think you’re addressing is what I’m wondering.

I guess those who want the state to own the means of production. Or is communism something different than that?
