Since the right has been screaming for years about the left being commies and socialists that were going to redistribute wealth etc, how does everyone feel about the Trump administration strong arming private industry into a shareholding position.  10% of Intel with more to follow no doubt.  Sounds anti capitalist and unAmerican to me.

Surely regulations on the businesses that would insure that the money related to that 10% "ownership" went to employees wages would be a much better and more American way to MAGA?

    As long as it’s not opening grocery stores in areas that don’t have any. That doesn’t t help Americans like investing in 10% of Intel.

    Investing? My understanding is the shares were strong armed cost free.

    Even better! As long as people can’t get access to fresh food!

    Shit just keeps getting crazier. Another 3rd party deal to ship deportees to Uganda now. This Intel bullshit. My god. If Trump does it, it's good for America, but Fox would be screaming communist/socialist if this was a democratic regime (monarchy) doing all this. People are too busy or uninterested to care unless it directly impacts them and none of this does, at least not right now. Swallow the blue pill and keep mindlessly keeping up with the Jones.
    It's a hopeless situation...
