    What in the ever living fuck happened to “the free market”?!?!

    Don’t innovate and sell faulty chips which ignite in people’s PCs? Should go out of business. This bail out nonsense is so stupid. Always privatize the gains and socialize the losses in good ol USA.

      Well this isn’t exactly a bailout per se. The government will own a chunk of Intel, which is pretty much the beginning of what should happen if something is “too big to fail” and needs a bailout: nationalization.

      Now, who the hell knows if this will end up being a good use of tax dollars, but at the very least it’s not a free bailout for fucking billionaires whose milking of the system crashed it.
