GypsyKing716 commented on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel   cnbc.com/2025/08/22/intel... · Posted by u/givemeethekeys

In general I would rather the government take a stake in corporations they're bailing out. I think the "too big to fail" bailouts in the past should have come with more of a cost for the business, so on one hand I'm glad this is finally happening.

On the other hand, I wish it were a more formalized process rather than this politicized "our president made a deal to save america!" / "Intel is back and the government is investing BUY INTEL SHARES" media event. These things should follow a strict set of rules and processes so investors and companies know what to expect. These kind of deals should be boring, not a media event.

Government is starting to be to big to fail. Living in the Great Lakes region its just the reality of it, as the geopolitics of the region are outplayed by idiots in other parts of the state.

Canada is a top 10 country by GDP, I think they'll be fine.

Ya, but we rely on so much from Sask to Montreal on border money.

Note that he’s only Prime Minister temporarily. He’s replacing Trudeau and will call elections soon (must be before October) and will go up against Poilievre.

EDIT: Didn’t mean to suggest he won’t win the election. But he’ll have to defend the seat.

We need to just deal with some squirrels in the pack looking for nuts, but I think Poilievre if he wins will fix the West Coast problems tuque-svet

Sorry to hear this news. I don't want to spoil the party, but the bucking heads between both countries, especially as a border town dual-citizen, its only going to make living in the Canada that much more difficult for me. The US economy is 9x bigger and with a population of 45M vs. 325M+ - its crazy. Ontario dominates the political spectrum (just a point of fact, not of affiliation) it doesn't allow for collaboration across the provinces. BC and AB are booming, and Ontario just keeps stagnating their innovation trains and economic prosperity and we're likely to see this continue into the future as Toronto and Ottawa just dictate the population as a whole from a central "neck of the woods" thinking.

God save the King, but at what cost?!

Love you Americans. I'm sorry, we're assholes when it comes to nationalism sometimes, but its just going to be difficult for a few years for us.
