Even if the Foxconn did happen, it was going to be a quarter-century before Wisconsin broke even on the deal.

Governor Walker was Trump lite. Amazing how much money they wasted on this ridiculous project that had no chance of succeeding even in the best of mathematical scenarios.

and the terrible clawbacks for promises not kept.

Pretty normal cooperate behavior. Con a town into big development spending or tax breaks. Build less than promised/bare minimum then leave asap or as soon as the contract ends. Don't let this happen to you! pay attention to your local leaders and yell at them when they go for that cooperate cheese.

In a county just north of Cartersville, GA, the board decimated existing standards to allow smokestacks and massive 24-7 trucking on a two-lane road despite well-organized and vehement opposition from the community. At one meeting we were asked "to call them chimneys because it sounds cozier" by one of the company reps. The commissioners involved, despite family ties there going back for several generations, simply moved on to more expensive pastures with some newly acquired wealth. And that's just what they publicly admitted to.

So basically through eminent domain a lot of people lost their houses and property for nothing

In Wisconsin, just advertise with an inexpensive 5 second ad, played every hour everywhere. "Wisconsin, Remember FoxConn." Put it on Billboards, lawnsigns. Nothing more need be said.

Someone should ask former governor Scott Walker how much he got out of the deal.

…Wisconsin. The new,”what’s the matter with Kansas…”

Can someone forward a link to this story over to the Biden administration? Would be a great talking point for nationally televised town halls and the presidential debates!

Donald Trump + Foxconn + Wisconsin = Catfish. This may have been one of the biggest clusterf*cks in US history. Go Trump. To everyone who has voted- or will vote -for Donald Trump. You asked for him, you got him, you can keep him.

I live in SE Wisconsin and have never heard of Foxconn or met anyone who works for it. Clearly they picked the correct name for it.

What a surprise, must be that "art of the deal" in action right there. lol

Meanwhile president biden struck a deal with samsung to build factory in the US and they are almost done with building to actually create jobs and starting making

As a person from Wisconsin I can honestly tell you it flew like a lead balloon

Better reporting than all of mainstream media.

This should be played on the big screens at the republican convention In Milwaukee

Ronny is absolutely brilliant in his delivery. Great review of a very sad outcome of a yet another election promise donnycon

Everytime I hear about one of these huge carrot dangle projects I always think about the monorail episode from the Simpsons

Classic Trump: the art of a deal - promise whatever you want knowing that someone else will deal with the consequences because nepobabies are immune to responsibility or logic

Every time someone shows up on socal media saying they work there, I ask them what they do and they never reply. Just weird sock puppet accounts.

What was that other one that Trump promised to bring back jobs lost by the company moving manufacturing to Mexico/China or something. They brought it back for a bit but then eventually still offshored it. Think it was Whirlpool or something.

Chiengtastic, a real Chiengasm of a piece! How is this not a Lincoln Project or RVAT commercial, airing around the clock, in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pa., Ga. & Az.?

But he's immune from prosecution for official presidential duties. Kind of like how Biden would be immune from imprisoning Trump prior to the election.

Absolutely brilliant reporting. Love the humor made in this debacle of an issue.

Wisconsin loves Trump, says Trump. I am sure the people who lost their land to eminent domain would argue with that lie.

I think this is the first piece of satire that I've seen that points out the stupidity of seeing job creation as the be all and end all of politics.

Why is it that TDS has to be doing actual journalism for us.

Several outlets reported this years ago, there are several KZread videos about this from news networks, even down Microsoft coming, and Biden talking about how Foxconn was the investment that never was, it was a thing.

Thank you Ronni Chang, absolutely great piece I kinda love the comedic style and it’s actually impressive how relaxed and comedic the interview with Foxconn was (I don’t think that’s an easy thing to do)

This only happened because the village officials wanted it. These officials said newly built homes were ‘blighted’, which allowed them to take the land and give it to Foxconn. If Mt. Pleasant didn’t want Foxconn, it wouldn’t have gotten off the ground. The trustees mentioned in the video are simple folks without any impressive qualifications. Some run with minimal to no opposition in the village election. On top of that there were just a handful of very young village employees who helped push this through. Trump and Foxconn didn’t push people out of their homes, it was Mt. Pleasant, 100%. Many stories online about it.

They took these peoples home for no reason
