What the heck is up with Intel.
Listen if you’re an American Company, your priority one focus should be the United States of America and its people.
That means your number one focus is not to your shareholders or to corporate interests.
If you want to continue to do business in America benefit from its the tax cuts and from the power that America projects around the world which makes it easier for you to do business then then these are the non-negotiable rules you have to abide by.
Yeah, that’s not good enough then you know what you can basically fuck off and set up shop somewhere else and see how well you do.
And we will curb stomp you out of existence if you try to continue to business here.
