Well Wisconsin voted out the governor who helped to land the deal and that would’ve protected the deal so no jobs for you Wisconsin! Back to Starbucks! Keep voting for dems idiots.
Between the unions and the EPA I was scratching my head with wonder that any Chinese company could manufacture in the USA without tripling their prices. Well, here you have the rest of the story. They’ll hire our engineers so they can actually buy our smart ideas rather than stealing them all (a win, I guess) but not going to make stuff here.
One of the reasons why we’re eventually going to end up with socialism is that these corporate types just repeatedly lie their arses off.
Sooner or later the public is going to have had enough and give the Hard Left the green light to take them to the whipping shed.
Foxconn is actually a Taiwanese company. But with tensions increasing with China, the viability of an independent Taiwan is questionable.
Evers is a moron. His entire life has been in education as an administrator, so he has no knowledge of business, no understanding of politics when it comes to opposing ideologies and and has never had to deal with anyone that understands capitalism.
As I said at the time, there is NEVER any guarantee when incentives are offered. The companies would never agree to be held to every projection they might toss out, but only that they “best efforts, subject to market conditions, blah blah”. Read any annual report for the same verbage.
Which only makes sense, no one can predict the future. It’s not the company’s fault that stupid politicians offer them free money without strings attached and they take it.
Massive vote fraud in Milwaukee County got Evers the governorship.
I was up until 2am that night and it was a virtual tie all evening. Then at around 2am 30,000 votes were found for Evers when Milwaukee County reported their numbers. They always go last so they know how much to cheat the numbers. Dems “ win” again.
So goodbye WI prosperity, job growth, any hope of lower taxes.
Evers still looks surprised he “won”.
He’s a very old man. Been at the public school trough for many decades.
Has done so much harm even before stealing the governorship.
Walker refused to fight the fraudulent results. He is on to other things, set for life at cushy jobs.
Vote fraud is rampant everywhere in our country.
If it’s not stopped we will never win again.
The dems are more brazen every election.
The whole idea was based on getting Owens-Croning to build a fab near by to make ultra-large panels, but that depended on another subsidy which the legislators turned down. The whole thing began to fall apart from then on.
Foxconn missed a milestone recently which cost them some millions of subsidy dollars. From the sound of this report, the other milestones won’t be met either. That becoming the case all the fuss about Foxconn subsidies which Evers ran against will evaporate like the promised 13,500 jobs
They’ll likely end up with a 2,000 sq ft building employing 20 mainland Chinese and 10 Americans ...
