The two writers of this article are from Strive Asset Management , the "anti-woke" firm started by Vivek Ramaswamy.
However, that doesn't make money for them it turns out:
From Strive's Board of Directors:
"The firm, Strive Asset Management, is seen “as political over investment oriented,” turning off some investors and limiting its opportunities to grow."
Turns out they care more about making money than political crusades, and anti-woke wasn't making them richer. Awwwww.
*******
The horrid "HAMAS-like" requirements for free money?
Childcare (AND adultcare, which is in another section. Yes, turns out the government understands that caring for your elderly parents can economically cripple you and the economy. That's that damn "woke" for ya...)
The specs say:
"Applicants requesting CHIPS Direct Funding over $150 million are required to include information on how they will provide access to affordable, accessible, reliable, and high-quality child care for facility and construction workers. While applicants may consider on- or near-site child care, applicants may also secure other arrangements, such as subsidizing the cost of child care (i.e., providing financial assistance) or partnering with off-site providers to ensure availability for worker"
From the Strive Asset Management article:
"In a 2023 report from the Bureau of Labor, they said that 10.8 percent of construction workers in the US are women.
Despite the small numbers, companies must ensure they have childcare for the workers and engineers who, according to the two, 'don't exist yet.'"
What they mean:
Women are the only ones that need or use childcare, they're only 10% of construction workers (no mention of subsequent factory workers) so
fuck this noise. Stupid, stupid woke people.

The specs say:
Training and hiring:
I'm paraphrasing for brevity.
" We want these grants to bring jobs to underdeveloped areas. Some training courses might bring the locals up to snuff. Also, we'd like you to at least look at local VETERAN -owned and minority or women owned businesses to work with your company.
Yes VETERAN-owned businesses are included in DEI."
The article:
Paraphrasing for the actual meaning:
"Hiring vets, women or minorities to invest in American jobs with your free money?? Nope, we'd rather hire Russians who will work for $591.00 a month.
We want to get richer, fuck the American economy! Bwahahaha!"
***********
This is the last gasp of a failed company, and speculative grasping at straws. They don't speak for Intel or any other tech company nor the reasons for upcoming business decisions. Just trying to push anti-woke down our throats.
Imagine, being against the hiring of our American veterans??
