..... It's amazing to watch the left trip over themselves to **** all over whatever good may come out of this administration for no other reason than spite or pettiness.
Indeed.
Intel clearly states, from the White House no less, they are going to build the most advanced chip factory in the world in the USA due to Trump's policies, and it's absolutely driving them crazy.
Attempting to do anything they can to belittle it.

The thing that stands out from the two press releases, the original announcement in 2011 and today's announcement, is how few jobs are created for the amount of money invested.
It says the factory is already partially built and that Intel used the exact same factory to appease Obama, twice.
"The partially built Fab 42 facility will be completed in 3 to 4 years."
Will "create approximately 3,000 high-tech, high-wage Intel jobs for process engineers, equipment technicians, and facilities-support engineers and technicians."
Krzanich added that Trump's "advantageous" tax and regulatory policies are partly responsible for their decision to announce the new factory at the White House. Trump called the investment "a great thing for Arizona," and said the products will be "amazing."
And the paragraph directly after that:
Quote:
We do find it It is somewhat ironic that the same chip fabrication facility was used by Intel to appease none other than Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, to wit:
I am about as anti-Trump as they come. I didnt' vote for him. I think he's a narcissist in over his head and I hope he gets impeached ASAP. With that said. I am capable of recognizing that there is some GOOD that he can do and giving credit where credit is due. It's amazing to watch the left trip over themselves to **** all over whatever good may come out of this administration for no other reason than spite or pettiness.
You sound like another so-called "libertarian" with great, secret admiration for the toddler-in-chief.
Any CEO with a brain will flatter Trump will compliments and claim that Trump is responsible for everything great that they do, in order to receive favorable treatment from Trump. He's an extreme narcissist and thats how the game is played these days. Its ridiculous and third world, but thats what it is.

That factory was originally designated for Intel Atom mobile CPU but Intel cancelled development because it's not competitive against Apple and Qualcomm.
Recently AMD has stepped up their game big so Intel needs a new foundry to fight against AMD.
Intel pledged a $5 billion investment at this same site in 2011 and they spent $1.4 billion and the rest of the plan was idled until they started talking to AZ again to get incentives last year.
So Im happy you think Trump did this, but he didnt really.
"The partially built Fab 42 facility will be completed in 3 to 4 years."
Will "create approximately 3,000 high-tech, high-wage Intel jobs for process engineers, equipment technicians, and facilities-support engineers and technicians."
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.
Many Trump supporters hate the concept of tuition free public colleges, even though thats exactly what is needed in a time of rapid technological shifts and automation, and instead they want more privatization crazes and would rather spend money on "rebuilding" the military industrial complex. Mind blowing.
