Had high hopes for Pat Gelsinger, but this is one of the most egregious failures of corporate leadership I’ve ever seen, short of fraud. In the context of geopolitical changes since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, it’s also one of the most dangerous. We in the West have a long road ahead on semi manufacturing and we are falling over in a heap at the starting line.

Trusting Intel to be the torch bearer of Western semiconductor manufacturing is a grievous mistake to begin with. Intel is crippled with incompetence and corruption, government money only contributes to the dysfunction.

This assumes Intel is constrained by capital. I don't believe that's even close to correct.
