Gawd, you must be more stupid than that other one.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.If it was a Democrat in the Governor's mansion you'd be singing his praises for bringing Foxconn to Wisconsin..........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?
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.
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.
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.
