$英特爾 (INTC.US)$ can the USA afford to let intel fail? I mean tsmc in Taiwan, and we know that situation. I have a gut feeling that intel have a trick up it sleeves maybe with some help from DARPA, and the new foundry on US soil, would make sense. maybe why they culled 14000 staff. cleaning out any possible unvetted workers who may compromise to CN. maybe someone can check if any politicians have purchased intc recently? we may get our answers. I'm holding for 10yrs.
