    The Spin

    Pro-establishment narrative

    This government intervention makes perfect sense from a national security perspective. Intel is America's only advanced semiconductor manufacturer, and domestic chip production is crucial to both economic and national security. The Ohio factory delays show Intel needs financial backing to compete globally against TSMC and Samsung.

    Establishment-critical narrative

    Government bailouts for struggling private companies create a troubling precedent. Intel's decline stems from strategic missteps, not a lack of funding. The company missed the AI boom and lost its market edge due to internal failures. Taxpayer money won't fix technological shortcomings or poor leadership decisions — it merely shields companies from the consequences of their own actions.
