Foxconn plant in Wisconsin! ................................Careful what you wish for?

[JGalt]

People so excited about a new Foxconn plant in Wisconsin. There is a lot to think about. Anyone know much about Foxconn? And how manufacturing today works?

First on Foxconn:

1 Million Workers. 90 Million iPhones. 17 Suicides. Who’s to Blame?

17 suicides? Mmmm, is that good?
Republicans are quick to point out, "But that's lower than the national rate". Course, I worked at the same company for 37 years and no one committed suicide while at work. Leave it to the GOP to see the "bright spot".

Suicide prevention nets. BAM!

So where does the land in Wisconsin come from?

Mount Pleasant property owners are being asked to option their land for Foxconn

Foxconn will demand staggering government incentive package to land in Wisconsin

“Free land, subsidies, tax abatements, money to support research and development – anything that can be of value," Tangen said, echoing views expressed elsewhere among Asian analysts. Chinese authorities even subsidize minimum-level wages, which already are unimaginably low by American standards.

What is their record on building plants in the US?

Foxconn announces U.S. manufacturing plant in Wisconsin

In 2013, Foxconn said it would invest $30 million and hire 500 workers for a new factory in Pennsylvania, but that facility was never completed. Foxconn has another small operation in Pennsylvania.

Wisconsin state Senator Jennifer Shilling, a Democrat, questioned whether there is "legislative appetite for a $1 (billion) to $3 billion corporate welfare package... The bottom line is this company has a concerning track record of big announcements with little follow-through."

Obviously, with high tech, comes education. What is Wisconsin's history on education.

Scott Walker Takes A National Risk With State Education Cuts - NBC News

Scott Walker cut school funding more than any governor, Greater Wisconsin Committee claims

Gov. Scott Walker savages Wisconsin public education in new budget

So there it is. I hope the people of Wisconsin well, but I look at what Trump and Pence did with Carrier and the debacle that has turned out to be and I wonder if the GOP leadership is setting the people of Wisconsin up for the same kind of debacle but on a massive scale?

If it was a Democrat in the Governor's mansion you'd be singing his praises for bringing Foxconn to Wisconsin..........

A Democrat would never do a deal like that. He would have exported jobs to China. The Governor we had before Walker lost quite a few job in this state.

Still don't understand do you? The jobs at the factory itself will be few. More and more of those jobs are automated. A US worker can't compete with wages of $173 a month. Maybe you could, but no one else.
The majority are short term construction. After that, they will need technicians and engineers. But those will be coming from outside of Wisconsin since the GOP cut so much from education.

Have you right wingers ever heard the words "big picture"? Do you know what that means?

So are you saying that it's better to have no jobs at all? I don't see the problem here, with Foxcomm moving to Wisconsin.

Gawd, you must be more stupid than that other one.

You may not understand this analogy, but I will try.

If you need a car and buy a good car, then you made a good deal.

If you need a car and buy a lemon, you've been tricked. The car has been misrepresented. BUT YOU STILL NEED A CAR. The need doesn't go away just because of a bad deal.

So what would be a good deal for the state of Wisconsin? A good car or a lemon. Remember, the lemon is still a car. It's just a bad deal.

Now try to think it through. Perhaps visit some of those links I posted. Learn something of value.

How is a large company moving to Wisconsin a "lemon"?

You liberals sure don't make much sense. Look if it will make you feel any better, I'll try to call Scott Walker and tell him we don't want no stinkin' factory here. But I'm not sure if I has his number here, so I'll have to see if I can look it up.

Oh no! A few jobs. Awful, just awful!!!

More and more of those jobs are automated.

Corporations pay taxes. Just awful!

After that, they will need technicians and engineers. But those will be coming from outside of Wisconsin

Jobs for Americans? Just awful!

since the GOP cut so much from education.

Yeah, screw those teachers unions.

Have you right wingers ever heard the words "big picture"? Do you know what that means?

It means that we can laugh at your whining.

You mean you also want some help? OK, I'm retired. I don't mind:

Still don't understand do you? The jobs at the factory itself will be few.

Oh no! A few jobs. Awful, just awful!!!
They're awful if you have to spend billions on a few jobs. I know we can agree on that.

More and more of those jobs are automated.

Corporations pay taxes. Just awful!
What does taxes have to do with telling people jobs that aren't coming back are? Besides, if they are no longer employing all those people, they can afford a little more in taxes. Don't you agree?

After that, they will need technicians and engineers. But those will be coming from outside of Wisconsin

Jobs for Americans? Just awful!
What makes you think they will be for Americans?

Yeah, screw those teachers unions.

It's my duty to try to help you guys understand reality. This fantasy world the right wing lies in is dangerous. Look at Russia. Right wingers are wrong to admire Vladimir Putin. He's a murderer.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to teach you something of value. Let me know if you need links.

Well at least you still have Kid Rock.

I guess we are now importing factories from overseas. Soon the other governments will own us. WI is a good state for them, they never increases their min wage, and Walker probably gave them a huge deal. Let them have the sweatshop.

What is Wisconsin's history on education.

Walker helped kill the teacher's union, so pretty good.

Soon the other governments will own us.

How? Be specific.

I can't believe you are that stupid. It just can't be.

If billions are spent luring the company there.
And the company doesn't have to pay taxes or money on water and power.
And there are almost no jobs.

THEN WHAT THE F*CK IS THE BENEFIT???????????????????????????????

Like the Obama "stimulus"? Yes, that was awful.

What does taxes have to do with telling people jobs that aren't coming back are?

It has to do with you saying this factory is a bad idea.

Besides, if they are no longer employing all those people, they can afford a little more in taxes.

You want to raise our already highest in the world corporate tax rate?
That won't help create jobs here.

What makes you think they will be for Americans?

It's my duty to try to help you guys understand reality.

You'd have to see it first. As a liberal, you aren't good at that.

Right wingers are wrong to admire Vladimir Putin.

Putin is a thug. Makes you wonder why Hillary and Obama were kissing his butt, eh?

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to teach you something of value.

Thanks for the laughs.

Foxconn is a Taiwan factory.

Yes the teachers pensions is what it all about, I think the state gov and all state employees should now be on 401Ks and they can put their money in the market.

Republicans kill workers rights, unions, and for profit everything, from schools to prisons.

The national suicide rate is 13 per 100,000.

Give the numbers you posted, that makes their suicide rate 1.7 per 100,000.

It is tragic people commit suicide, but hardly a four alarm fire.

Republicans kill workers rights, unions, and for profit everything, from schools to prisons.

If Republicans kill workers rights, they why have they passed so many "Right To Work" laws in so many states? A person shouldn't be forced to join a labor union in order to work, and be forced to pay that union dues which mostly end up supporting Democrats running for office, or lining the pockets of union bigwigs.

Don't give all the credit to Trump for jobs, also give credit to Restorative Initiative. Jobs have come to the USA since Obama, and its part of make things where the buyers are.

In response to the recession, President Obama launched the SelectUSA program in 2011,the first federal program to promote and facilitate U.S. investment in partnership with our states. This program and website helps companies connect with resources available on a Federal, State and local level. In January 2012, President Obama Issued a Call to Action to Invest in America at the White House "Insourcing American Jobs" Forum.[2] At this forum, he met with representatives from companies such as Otis Elevator, DuPont, NOVO1, Master Lock and many more, all of which had recently brought jobs back or made significant investments in the United States. In 2013, during his State of the Union speech President Obama stated that he wanted America to be a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing. He asked that manufacturers like Ford Motor Company and Apple Inc. bring manufacturing back the U.S. He talked about the new Innovation Institutes that are working on innovation and technology such as 3D printing that will help companies with Lean Manufacturing. He talked about the innovation in renewable and clean energy and how our future is dependent on both. The cameras panned the crowd and focused on Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, and explained that Apple had made a commitment to bring some of its manufacturing back to Silicon Valley.[3] Apple did open a US assembly operation to make the latest 21.5" iMac for the US market and in May 2013 shipped its first products.[4]

Foxconn is a Taiwan factory.

Yes the teachers pensions is what it all about, I think the state gov and all state employees should now be on 401Ks and they can put their money in the market.

Republicans kill workers rights, unions, and for profit everything, from schools to prisons.

If Republicans kill workers rights, they why have they passed so many "Right To Work" laws in so many states? A person shouldn't be forced to join a labor union in order to work, and be forced to pay that union dues which mostly end up supporting Democrats running for office, or lining the pockets of union bigwigs.

Right to work, means they can pretty much fire you for any reason.

I would much rather have someone in a position where they could be held accountable for their incompetence, than someone who couldn't be fired for screwing up. Besides, union labor causes higher prices, and is one of the main causes for businesses leaving this country.

If it was a Democrat in the Governor's mansion you'd be singing his praises for bringing Foxconn to Wisconsin..........

A Democrat would never do a deal like that. He would have exported jobs to China. The Governor we had before Walker lost quite a few job in this state.

Still don't understand do you? The jobs at the factory itself will be few. More and more of those jobs are automated. A US worker can't compete with wages of $173 a month. Maybe you could, but no one else.
The majority are short term construction. After that, they will need technicians and engineers. But those will be coming from outside of Wisconsin since the GOP cut so much from education.

Have you right wingers ever heard the words "big picture"? Do you know what that means?

So are you saying that it's better to have no jobs at all? I don't see the problem here, with Foxcomm moving to Wisconsin.

Gawd, you must be more stupid than that other one.

You may not understand this analogy, but I will try.

If you need a car and buy a good car, then you made a good deal.

If you need a car and buy a lemon, you've been tricked. The car has been misrepresented. BUT YOU STILL NEED A CAR. The need doesn't go away just because of a bad deal.

So what would be a good deal for the state of Wisconsin? A good car or a lemon. Remember, the lemon is still a car. It's just a bad deal.

Now try to think it through. Perhaps visit some of those links I posted. Learn something of value.

Unlike you I don't do pretzel logic........ Ya wanna see stupid? Look no further than a mirror.

Oh and I did "visit" all the links you posted but that's not the real issue here. The real issue is a combination of your confirmation bias and logical fallacy, confirmation bias is obvious in how you present/interpret the issue making definitive claims from a specific political (biased viewpoint) presented in the most negative light you can possibly present it in by simply doing nothing more than a political hatchet job on Walker.
As for your logical fallacy you appear to infer that because suicides have occurred at the Shenzhen plant they're obviously going to occur at the Wisconsin plant.

That's one aspect you of right to work though typically there are federal laws involved that stipulate the employer must have a valid reason for firing someone, I know, I've worked in right to work states where I hired and fired people. You want to keep your ass from being sued, you better have a valid reason for the firing.

Well to be fair, there could be a lot of suicides if we lose the Superbowl again.
