>In an unusual deal with the struggling chipmaker, the U.S. takes a holding in a private company.
Not sure what to think of this.
The USA does not "earn" any money. The govt gets its money from YOU, the TaxPayer.
What is the US Govt going to do with this stake?
And when another administratin sells it, where does that money go?
Now, on the other hand, if it is proven that INTEL chipmakers had any part in fraudulent elections… and the US govt takes the company (assets), where does that leave the US Taxpayer? Even IF, the USA were to gain 100% ownership of the company, how do WE THE PEOPLE ensure that it is run legitimately, legally, and not usurped by future administrations?
