What Foxconn – Apple’s Largest Manufacturer – Is Up To In Wisconsin

Published

on



Foxconn is the world’s largest contract manufacturer of electronics and the biggest assembler of Apple products. Now it’s building a massive factory in a village in rural Wisconsin. In a deal heralded by politicians including President Donald Trump and then Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Wisconsin offered Foxconn close to $4 billion in subsidies to bring the project there. In return, Foxconn promised 13,000 jobs and a $10 billion investment in Wisconsin.

In the last two years, however, plans have changed many times and locals have been forced to move to make way for the 3,000 acre project. CNBC got a rare chance to sit down with Foxconn and the Wisconsin official who helped broker the deal to ask: what’s really going on with the project? Watch the video to learn more about the international giant trying to build one of the world’s largest factories – in the United States.

Clarification: Jim Mahoney decided not to take “a buyout offer” from the town of Mount Pleasant, not directly from Foxconn.

    Not much came from this and Terry Gou and Microsoft had their last laugh at it while people where evicted and had to throw their own cash away to the goverment to fund the plant, that's like a majour fraud, bigger than anything and every one is silent now, they don't care, it's also people's fault, people get screwed too for not really paying attention, no one is protesting either, so people's fault too.

    Foxconn is a manufacturer for business. If the supply chain, resources, labors … are not ready, I wonder what would I do if I am the business owner?

    So glad to see how Wisconsin republicans screwed over their own people by giving foxconn(perfect name for them by the way) hundreds of millions in taxpayer money and never having to actually do what their contract says they will, like creating jobs. I wonder how much scum walker and punk ryan got from foxconn to create this CON on the good people of Wisconsin.

    You hear what that guy said, Trumpers? "The skill sets are NOT in the U. S." You understand what that means? Our education system SUCKS. Thanks to your political views and votes. That, and everything else Trump touts turns to total crap. I think it's exactly what it's named: One big Fox con. Slave factory workers committing suicide? Yep, that's about right. In Wisconsin? Maybe they should start producing AR-15s. Big market for those crazies out there now.

Meta Is Facing Its Biggest Trial Yet, And Its Future Hangs In The Balance

Published

on

By



Meta is facing what could be its most consequential trial yet, as 29 state attorneys general accuse the tech giant of knowingly designing Facebook and Instagram to addict children and misleading the public about the risks. The states are seeking civil penalties that could approach $200 billion and changes to core features like infinite scroll and autoplay, while Meta says the claims are unsubstantiated and that it has built strong protections for teens. The outcome of the federal trial could reshape how social media platforms are designed and open the door to greater liability for companies across the industry. CNBC’s Julia Boorstin examines why this case could become Big Tech’s “Big Tobacco” moment, and what a loss could mean for Meta’s business and the future of social media.
