What treatment?

Are you saying that Intel's huge investment is a lie?

I know.

$7 billion and only 3000 jobs.

I doubt that all the workers are going to make 2.3 million each.

So in 3-4 years, they are going to be hiring process engineers and technicians.

Folks better get their butts back to school if they want one of these high-wage jobs.
It will be business as usual, hire American managers who contracts and outsources chip design work to H-1Bs.

The most important part of the business is to keep the design and patents on-shore as it's far too easy off-shore for designs to get stolen.

Their meltdown continues! Japan PM set to meet Trump with more deals in the works.

It's over for the Democrats, they've got nothing. The Obummer-Sharpton race card is all they ever had to begin with.

it's all about the economy just like Slick Willy always knew.

Apparently you don't know much about chip fab production. You can't build 7nm designs without a 7nm manufacturing process.

Your point has no merit.

No, I'm just not a brain dead partisan lemming who has to pick one side and refuses to ever acknowledge anything good from the other side. That's the reason why our country is so divided and divisive. Each side thinks the other is the devil and can do nothing good.

I have no admiration for Trump. I want him out. With that said, I am not closed minded enough to think that it is impossible that some good will come of his administration and I don't feel the need to belittle it or downplay it when it does.

Lets see.
  • You create topic to tell us how great it is for Mexico to be looking out for the Mexican worker due to Mexico/China agreement.
  • You absolutely hate it when the US President and Intel CEO agree to do the same for the American worker in the USA.
You have a double standard. No doubt about it.

And about 10 threads about how states across the country are going to suffer under his pig-headed and moronic protectionist trade philosophy.

He's a twit.
