        New name was of course - INTegrated ELectronics, or Intel for short. The fact that “intel” was the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable, but that name was already taken by some hotel chain in the mid-west. In the end, Moore & Noyce Electronics bought the name from the chain and renamed itself Intel Corporation.

    I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.

    Someone who isnt a huge friend of the billionaries. Actually when I think about it, you will find no such person.

      You have plenty in politics. Special interests (mainly but not exclusively the rich) have seen to it that the American electorate would never make any of them president. Billionaires don’t buy news and media outlets because they love honest journalism.
