Intel (INTC) Axes Jobs in US & India—Yet Defiantly Green on Wall Street

Wall Street's cold calculus: Fewer salaries = fatter margins. The market rewards efficiency, even when it's written in pink slips. Meanwhile, crypto keeps eating traditional finance's lunch—decentralized networks don't do layoffs, just code upgrades.
Funny how 'corporate restructuring' never means fewer C-suite bonuses. But hey, at least those algorithm traders will keep the stock propped up... until the next earnings call.
