FOXCONN, AGAIN!
Foxconn and Wisconsin, particularly a small segment of Southeastern Wisconsin are ‘attached at the hip.’ Foxconn is the empty gift that never stops giving. Actually, what it gives are debt and more baloney. This gift was delivered to the doors of Racine, Kenosha, and Pleasant Prairie by an out-of-control republican party that has paid no price for doing what it did, and keeps on doing.
The rotten creature of a company has about three hundred million dollars of ill-gotten property and developed buildings, sitting and doing nothing, and the money they borrowed to do all this accumulation and construction is ultimately Wisconsin’s to pay if this Taiwanese company simply decides to get up and go home. That amount of money is ten percent of Wisconsin’s entire annual budget!
Who did this deal? Hell, two of them are running for office right now. Those two would be Ron Johnson and Rebecca Kleefisch. He’s running for the Senate and she’s running for the governor’s position. We’ve just got to be kidding. Oh, and then there was Robin Vos, currently our Speaker of the House, and he’s still right in there at play. How about the former governor, and that would be Dumbo Governor, Scott Walker? He also got rid of the high-speed trains. Who could forget him? The Speaker of the U.S. House provided a helping hand. Paul Ryan was his name. He’s gone to Washington to be a board member of Fox News. Scott Walker lives in Washington running the Young American’s Foundation, a right-wing young people’s group. Which is worse? The ones that stayed or the ones that bailed out?
Trouble is coming to the southern corner of Racine, Kenosha, and Pleasant Prairie. Roads have not been finished, as the money dried up. There’s no tax or income coming from Foxconn in its completed structures (of which there are only a few) because there’s nothing going on in the buildings. It seems that Foxconn, other than a really good presentation ability, seems to entirely lack a product. They were initially headed full-on into large-screen television production. Then small screen booklet and iPad kind of products. Then they went into the production of electric cars when that venture failed. Actually, two electric car ventures. They are trying to partner with a third, as this article is written. The big question isn’t about what’s next for Foxconn. They’ll continue to do what they’ve gotten away with doing until everybody has figured their game out.
The big question is about the three damaged communities in southeast Wisconsin. What are they supposed to do with the mess? What happens when this sort of stuff is done to local communities? Try, Harvard, Illinois. The super-giant structure that Motorola built, with tons of Foxconn’s kinds of promises, and the State of Illinois’ money, sits there, sixteen years later with almost nothing inside. No, jobs, no taxes, and who’s paying those big energy and upkeep bills to allow it to sit there, nearly unattended? Not Motorola. Pennsylvania still suffers from the same thing that Foxconn did to it. That small community has never come back. Tons of people lost their homes, incomes, and more. Are the community leaders there being called on the carpet at all? No, it’s just like here. They merely run for office again. One last person was involved in the Foxconn job. He came to Wisconsin and was handed a shovel for the celebration of digging out the first bit of dirt to start the project. How appropriate is that word to describe it? Dirt. His name is Donald Trump.
Your front page story is right on! The gop is living in lala land and there is no sunshine where their head is up the azzez of the 1% and corporations. D frump 45/3/2 and the good on putin gop are on a path to DESTROY this country. The party of Fear with their homophobic and racist’s bs, their attempts to STEAL elections with their FASCIST wannabe idiot frump (an aspiring dictator) like his two best friends vlad and kim. Election integrity laws – heck 90% of the voter FRAUD has been committed by the gop membership and the brainwashed or brain dead maga crowd. MAGA stands for Made Americans Gullible Again. Biden has nothing to do with the price of oil and inflation. Inflation is mostly driven by CORPORATE GREED trying to make up for slowed revenue during covid.
Dumbledorfs Vos and Johnson MUST GO. The gop doesn’t give two s…ts about working and middle class Americans, only continued servitude to the 1% and corporations.
If you’ve read history the French Revolution was brought on by what is going on in America with too much wealth in the hands of a few. The good on putin gop is following what the Nazi party did : scapegoating, racial hatred, book banning, tattletale on your neighbors, and voter suppression and restrictions. And Americans are their own worst enemy. They fail to see the right wing media brainwashing their audience. The right wing media doesn’t give a rat’s behind about their audience, just ratings and revenues at the expense of Democracy in America by their continual mis and disinformation, bigotry and hate and woe is me fecal matter.
I hope that NATO and the West give Ukraine everything including manpower to kick madman putin COMPLETELY out of evey inch of Ukraine. Putin is blustering and bullying on his nukes, if he was so intent on using tactical nukes he would’ve used them when the Ukraine military kicked the not so great russian army into retreat.
