According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the plan would see the US disbursing approved CHIPS Act grants only after acquiring non-voting shares of Intel and likely other chipmakers. That would allow the US to profit off its investment in chipmakers, Lutnick suggested, and Sanders told Reuters that he agreed American taxpayers could benefit from the potential deals.

"If microchip companies make a profit from the generous grants they receive from the federal government, the taxpayers of America have a right to a reasonable return on that investment," Sanders said.

The plan is that instead of just giving Intel the public's money with no strings, the public would get something in return. I have to admit that doesn't sound awful to me.

The same DNC chair who got hoag fired because the media liked hoag more than him? And supported keeping fossilized Dems over bringing in more progressive candidates? I think his actions speak louder than his praise of Mamdani successful campaign.

what are the charges? Serious replies only plz

That's just cruel. Succulently cruel.

But in seriousness the charges are irrelevant, the fascists are long past pretending to care about the rule of law.
