Intel CEO leaves American Manufacturing Council

I suspect that he thought that it would be possible to work some change from the inside. Now that the optical disadvantages of being closer to Trump have clearly outweighed the advantages there is no other choice left than to resign.

Major companies that still have representatives in the council: GM, Blackrock, BCG, Walmart, Boeing, Pepsi, IBM, GE, Dow, Dell, Whirlpool, Ford, Johnson&Johnson, Lockheed Martin, US Steel, 3M, Corning

Everyone who has left: Uber(Travel Ban and #DeleteUber), Disney(Paris withdrawal), Tesla/SpaceX(Paris Withdrawal). And now Merck, Under Armour and Intel(all left after failure to condemn white supremacists)

Ford and IBM should feel right at home.

Glad to hear that a lot these CEOs are resigning. To be honest, the council is most likely better off without them as a lot of these big corporations favor offshore outsourcing and profit immensely from payroll/labor arbitrage.

> Everyone who's left: ...

Could you please disambiguate that? I am confused.

Does it mean "Everyone who is left" or "Everyone who has left"?

Thanks!

Edit: For anyone who wonders what the heck I was talking about, the parent comment originally said "Everyone who's left" - and I honestly was not sure which it meant. That comment has now been edited to read "Everyone who has left", so I am grateful for the clarification.

I would delete this comment since it's now moot, but since a couple of people were kind enough to reply, deleting it now would probably make things even more confusing. :-)
