Brian Krzanich got a call from the Board of Directors, which informed him that Intel's business would be jeopardized if Trump is elected.
50% of their US workers are H-1B working for 1/2 of US wages...and 80% of their manufacturing is overseas at 1/3 the cost.

Sounds like the boys on the board think that having to hire Americans and pay them American wages will jeopardize their wallets. Poor babies.

Intel’s under enough jeopardy since they completely missed the boat on mobile devices. Qualcomm and other smaller, nimbler companies are taking them to the cleaners.

“Worst of all, Mr. Trump is revealing Silicon Valleys vulnerability. In recent years, technology companies have extended their enormous reach while becoming ever wealthier and more powerful. Yet Mr. Trump has paid no political price for attacking them, with broadsides in recent months against Jeff Bezos at Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook and Timothy D. Cook at Apple.”
bezos, zuckerberg & cook; left wing “practice what i preach not what i practice” hypocrites...

More uber-rich fascist leftists who are holier-than-thou RAT cronies. It would be an incredibly good thing for the country to have their practices shut down. It is exactly the Bezos, Zuckerberg pigs who are profiting off America’s decline.
To: Mariner
We need all abusive practices hiring foreign workers terminated immediately. If that means they leave, they leave.

I really wonder what will happen if the H1B abuse is shut down. A lot of multinationals have their own low-cost offshore divisions and employees. They will just transfer jobs there. From what I’ve seen, good luck with that.
The truth is that there actually exists resources in other countries that may be better than is available here. The problem is that the greedy bastards killed their own golden goose by abusing the system.

Intel took the future immediately upon cash purchase of Altera for $16.7bil.

A friend of mine, now retired, started his career when Silicon Valley was 100% American engineers. He said I wouldn’t believe how few Americans were left by the time he retired. If the place got nuked it would kill a million, 100 or so casualties being American.

Altera is in the FPGA market. That does not have much application to mobile phones. They appear to have a few offerings involving ARM processors, but I do not know why I would want to use ARM products distributed by Intel rather than ARM products distributed by Qualcomm, Nvidia (Tegra), Broadcom (RaspPi), Samsung, etc.

The life goal of 50 million engineers in India, Malaysia and China is to move to California and work for $35/hr and no benefits.
To them it's heaven.
A million of them are Chinese spies.

You don't buy ARM products.
The product manufacturers do.
