Why do you care about the origin of the company?

People living on democracy have right to question when their money is being spent in enriching the country which has habit of meddling foreign policy?

You can question whatever you want. That doesn’t answer why it matters that Intel has their HQ in the US.

It’s not like there is such a large choice of companies if you want to be able to produce chips in Europe.

Intel is subservient to American government. I don't want German taxpayer money going into an entity that is subservient to the American government.

For example, America has a habit of forcing American companies to push American foreign policy. For example: Google dropping Huawei.

I consider it unethical for my tax euros to subsidize an American company.

I question the sanity of our politicians that think putting German money into F35 is a good idea.
