Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger took to social media to invite people to pray and fast for the chipmaker's employees, saying the company is going through a "difficult period."

Best way to cease fasting is to eat the rich? (By taxing them plenty and installing social safety nets, definitely not anything violent that would get the comment removed)

Wait, who is he inviting to pray for Intel? Everyone? Me?

O beloved Intel, producer of microchips Let thy wafers be smooth and flawless And the microcode free of bugs May your processors faithfully execute And never be troubled by spectres Through the profits of thy business units The world knows the might of America

Dear God of Tits and Wine: please give Intel lots of tits and wine! Amen.

With all due respect, nope. Wtf.

Fasting can be healthy for your body, helps the repair process. However, this idiot thinks it's a sacrifice for whatever reason.

It won't work for Intel anyway. God is too busy helping NFL teams reach the playoffs.

Every Thursday I drive into town to get weed and burritos. This week I invite everyone to join me on my pilgrimage to buritopia

I, for one, think we should give thanks to our corporate overlords for their benevolences. For instance, at meals you can pray:

"Bless us oh Walmart,
and these your gifts,
which we are about to receive,
from thy bounty,
through the Walton's our benefactors.

Amen."

I pray that justice will be done.
