How far we've come from the promised 13,000 jobs.

A shame this happened. I had a bad feeling when they announced the deal all those years ago. I hope Intel doesn't do the same to Ohio.

Scott Walker literally shat on the rug on his way out with this one

The classic method, claim you'll create thousands of new jobs, butter up politicians, get billions in subsidies, then cut and run!

My theory is that Foxconn is actually a real estate speculation company. Making electronics is just a cover.

Kind of like how Tesla and other Elmo companies are actually just energy subsidy scams? Given the country of origin of the company, being in real estate would make sense.
