In June 2018 Donald Trump posed with then Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou at a ground breaking ceremony for the new Foxconn facility in Mt. Pleasant, Wisconsin. Touted as “the eighth wonder of the world” by the president, the multi-billion dollar deal was supposed to produce a 20-million-square-foot manufacturing complex, thousands of jobs, and the beginning of a new well-paying manufacturing sector in the American Midwest. Over two years later, almost none of that has happened. Instead of thousands of new jobs and a promising facility, Wisconsin looks to have been left holding the bag on a deal that was over promised and under delivered. This week, investigations editor and feature writer at The Verge, Josh Dzieza, joins to talk about what happened with the Wisconsin-Foxconn deal and why its promise was doomed to fail.

Highest number of homeless people.
Highest number of incarcerated people.

Stock market is not economy of Americans, where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of population, it’s wallet of the rich!
Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling!
I have left ample of proof on my playlist, if you would like to check.
Let’s make our country better together.. … .
Amazon can be unionized too BTW… It’s not like new type of jobs can’t be unionized.
There are some who believe tRump isn’t leaving so maybe seeing it with their eyes open for once will make them see the BIG LIE.
I say complete the coup, swear in Joe and Kamala…….
Let the people see it, their faith will be tested, only way…….
So Apple is basically branding something that is being manufactured by people getting slave wages. This is horrible.

The democrats took the wind out of everything president tried to do the Democrats shut down everything in the house and almost everything in the senate the bidens say buy chinese instead of buy american cash for clunkers steel went to china the coal and steel mills are being shut down the major demand in america is for toilet paper the superstructure is in need of repair water resources are in need of repair
I hate to say it but young Americans have no concept of work ethics. Americans still don’t appreciate education like they do in the far east. There isn’t a city in this country where 300,000 would work so hard and so fast with such perfection. It’s sad but true! IMO
It’s not trump’s fault it’s our fault we were not righteous enough why was everything sent to china why. Wasn’t made in america enforced
Manufacturing jobs are more difficult to create today than in 1980, than in 1960, than in 1940. Oh wait, maybe we need another war. Infrastructure jobs would be too easy.
Wow, what a winded way to say very little… In a condescending tone. Guess they’ll get that Green energy jobs 2.0 from Obama years now.
