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

Thank Scott Walker for the sewers and roads but thank Tony Evers for the REAL jobs

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?

A lot of Americans are spoiled to be lazy. No hope to move back the manufacturing to usa again.

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.

Not all deals falls through. Accusing Jerry of misses promises – Jerry is obviously a “Doer” as per his results – perhaps the the US can keep their promises the plant may be built already.?
