The US Government is Now in the Business (Literally!) of Saving Microsoft and Intel
Recently in Ponziland: Microsoft's Debt Exploded by 15.4 Billion Dollars in the Past 9 Months Alone (Despite All the Layoffs)
A few years ago President Biden was scheming/trying to bail out Intel and we repeatedly explained why we opposed the idea (he had already bailed out Microsoft). We wrote about this several times back then, including last year. Now that President TACO/Cheeto does the same (but with different marketing slants) while insisting it'll cost nothing (that's a lie) "there are harsh repercussions for this bailout in that there is now a major incentive for the US government to keep crap Wintel alive artificially," an associate explains, "further more 10% would definitely be controlling shares".
This means that President TACO/Cheeto now has greater financial incentive to also prop up Microsoft and Windows.
"Did you mention Intel?" Ryan asked in IRC. "Japan had something similar in the 90s where government tried to save jobs but ended up creating 100s of zombie companies. No product, but no failure as long as the government still gave them money." █
