      Is it really a scam, if it's already called "Foxconn"? That basically translates to "Lies and a scam", so I'd argue they at least didn't try to deceive anyone, since they made it fairly obvious this was a scam.

      yep. capitalism is a scam alright.
      of course the corporations are THE REAL govt. the govt has been kowtowing to their demands for 250 years! corporate lobbyists and lawyers have been writing our laws since day one. what do you think the constitutional convention was? it was a meeting of the rich protecting their own interests. this is what we anti-fascists have been trying to change for over 200 years.
      and the GOP decides NOW to make an issue of it? the GOP are victims of their own hypocrisy, double standards and situational ethics. i'm no fan of the democrats. both sides support and advocate absolutely insane and delusional positions, but, since trump, the GOP have taken a HUGE lead in the "insanity" sweepstakes.

      It's OK the mafia space monkeys just formed an intra-solar system union for inner planet construction workers and robots, of course Bezos and Musk are trying to shut them down ~ Bezos insists that bathroom brakes are not necessary as you can always pee in your space suit which can be emptied at the end of the day; unfortunately they have yet to set a date, planet and time for the the initial lawsuits to determine how many hours actually constitutes a "Day" depending on which planet, planetoid or satellite that unionized (Mafia) Space Moneys are actually working from. The Bezos team is pressing their case for a planet Mercury work day as the standard as one day on Mercury is technically 4222.6 hours long. Naturally Musk has a line of extra capacious and extra absorbent space suits he'd like to sell as being mandatory for all unionized Space Monkeys.

They were given environmental exemptions, discounts, deals, and funding and they will never pay that back.
    Meanwhile, we had fully paid for a modern passenger rail system running from Chicago to Milwaukee to Madison that would have created thousands of permanent jobs, lots of tourism, and saved people the expense of driving, as well as all the costs associated with road repairs etc from having few drivers on the road. We paid for that IN FULL but our former governor scrapped the project. We still had to cover the cost, but now we don't get the train and the rail will be constructed AROUND Wisconsin our State. The corruption and political stupidity is astounding and incredibly frustrating, especially since most people don't know about the project.

    Here’s the deal with Foxconn. They are a seriously big player in manufacturing and assembly. That’s why their biggest client is Apple. They wouldn’t promise a factory without actually wanting to do it. The reason they keep changing the plan in Wisconsin is they cannot find enough skilled working to actually make the products they need. They’re not doing fine assembly like for iPhone. They’re literally doing LCD panels and they STILL can’t find enough skilled people to start that program. In Asia they can find 100k skilled workers who will live on the Foxconn campus to work 12 hour shifts. Won’t happen in America. Sure you can complain how working like that is unethical but when 100k workers willingly sign up for those jobs you should really start to wonder why America is left behind.
