Trump Imitates Chinese Communist Party

[BULLDOG]

I call bullshit on the first two words of your thread title

So when have we nationalized a company before?

Since their founding, The Facebook and MSFT were controlled by the CIA

Evidently some here know little about history. In both WW-1 and WW-2 the US government held sway on how businesses conducted business.

National security came first. From 1941 to 1943 Colt could only produce the parked finished Commando revolver which was just a lower cost Official Police revolver.

They could only produce blued revolvers for police forces starting in late1943 and even then they had to be sent to an arsenal and they were the ones (through a .gov program) that filled police orders. If the .mil or war factory guards needed them they got dibs.

Nationalized? No. But I don't expect it to happen.

This will likely be the same as every other subsidized industry though.

Agriculture, Banks, the auto-industry, etc. etc.

CIA, DARPA. . .

/——/ Obozo took control of GM and there is this Can the Government Nationalize a Business?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Until recently, the idea of the US nationalizing any business was a non starter.

You need to Google "nationalization of industry" and then read for comprehension.

That's different

Until recently, the idea of the US nationalizing any business was a non starter. Nationalizing industry has always been looked on with disdain, and only the most wild eyed extreme fringe socialists would even consider something so foreign to our tried and true free market system. All that was true until Trump’s meeting with Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan at the White House earlier this week where they discussed the real possibility of the US buying a stake in Intel. Not a grant or a temporary loan, or a bailout as we have done in the past, but an actual ongoing ownership position where the US would have control of the company’s day to day operations, personnel, and every other aspect that ownership allows. I’m curious to see if today’s maga jumps on board and supports trump’s efforts, or if they will maintain their long term stance in support of the free market. This doesn’t seem to be just a throw away discussion. Trump said it was a good meeting, and they would have further talks on the subject.

Trump admin weighs taking stake in Intel, US report says

The plan stems from a meeting between CEO Lip-Bu Tan and Trump, who had demanded he resign over his Chinese investments.

Trump is in no way a free-marketeer.

Sure he is unless you mean tariffs which is different. Trump cut many regulations that democrats impose to control the market.

Last time was during WWI.


Railroads, telegraph lines, Smith & Wesson were nationalized.

Trump isn’t talking about nationalizing it, liar. He is talking about taking a stake in it. They did that with banks, railways, steel mills, coal mines, and foreclosed homes.

Next?

Thats a good thing it makes the government have an interest in the economy. It will also drive up stocks and make many people rich, @ ways it can me doe. A wealth fund for America to grow and offset debt. A real trust fund for SS that would make it financially solvent to replace the ponzi that funds it now. I would pass a law that would not allow the government a controlling interest in any company.

It seems we live in a nation where every way of living is all or nothing. In reality, many ways have a little of this and little of that in percentages. When we open up many government supermarkets you will see the misery that eventually comes from it.

 

[whitehall]

It's not unusual for the government to invest in businesses that are vital to American security.

 

[Rawley]

So when have we nationalized a company before?

In the 50s.

Actually, it was after the war. Truman and the steel companies in the 50s
