All reporting in MSM regurgitate Bloomberg lead. Has there been any comment from Intel that this is going to happen? I guess not denying it could be taken as confirmation. Shame. Tough times.

Sites hit most and least
Among all the sites in US and offshore, which sites would be the most and least impacted. I am guessing low cost centers like Bangalore may be least impacted.

Stop with that chip shortage bs
If only intel was more honest about the need for fed bailout. It was the need for leading edge process and not the fake chip shortage.

Intel is nowhere near the company I thought it was when I applied for the job here. For me, this company is a disappointment in every sense of the word.
VSP?
Rumors of VSP. Anyone know anything ?
Immigration
How is intel providing immigration for roles like project manager / product owner, SW development, etc. I thought it had to be a skill lacking in the United States? Why has this not been reported to Immigration and Customs?
