wait for the noise to die down and there will be another page A26 story mentioning more revised plans, rinse and repeat cycle
how many of the R&D jobs will go to US nationals and how many will go to Chinese nationals? Never mentioned, could turn out to be a big visa scam
nothing any of the involved parties says has value or a basis in reality
Maybe the âwallâ will be using glass panels from Foxconn Wisconsin ey? That way people on the American side could be warned when those melon calved Mexican cats were about to heave a big bag of smack over the top. Sheer brilliance on dotardâs part to use glass from Wisconsin along with the steel slats from China in the beautiful wall. Just like his tower in Vegas.
Why would they import Chinese nationals to do research here? I think the plan is to hire American thinkers and send the results back to China, so they can invent their own tech instead of just manufacturing for American companies. This wasnât a factory, it was a Trojan horse.
Oh man ya beat me to it. Alaska is just too far behind you guys back east.
why wouldnât they?
check out the story of Evergreen Pulp
this is one of my job sites, if you think Chinese corps are going to be good entities, maybe think twice
Not even that long, he said sure to the MF, but is trump going to demand a copy of it quarterly report to see how things are moving. If asked in a year he will tell him sure we are moving forward with the plant, we just having a few delays.
It makes sense for American companies to import foreign workers because theyâre cheaper than American workers. It doesnât make sense for a Chinese company to import Chinese workers just so they can pay them more in America.
My guess is that the entire purpose of this âcampusâ is to steal American ideas for China, not to overpay Chinese workers to come up with their own ideas. If anything, China will be the LAST place theyâd get workers from, since they already have more than enough Chinese workers back home.
So now theyâre lying about the lies that they lied about. My head hurts.
All of this until next Wednesday after the State of the Union.
Then they will be gone.
baby trump gets baby facility.
perfect.
Well⌠looking at the stories that are littered across the top of the TPM page today, there is one universal comment that could be individually applicable to any of these stories.
That comment is:
If the Truth ever emerges from the muck about this, you should look for it elsewhere; it wonât be originating from Trump or Trumpâs White House.
This wonât hold and they wonât announce the next revision.
Oh, bullshit. They will do no such thing, and it was predictable they would sing a different tune today. Foxconn has a long history of this kind of thing; theyâre not going to build shit or employ thousands of people.
Why would a foreign company manufacture anything here when the president can impose a 30% tariff regardless of the deal they made with the state?
well, weâll make TVâs
or
smart phone screens
or
medium sized computer screens
or
be involved in a payola scheme
or
hire guest workers
or
we might not
Whatever the intent, after pulling a couple of bait-and-switches within a year, it sure looks fishy.
Foxconn is undoubtedly saying whatever it takes to keep the subsidies rolling in. A buffoon like trump is easy enough to blow off with fake promises and hollow praise. When trump is impeached, Foxconn will move on to Plan X, Y or Z.
And until Trump is gone, heâll play along with them on how much theyâve built and how many people theyâre employing, just like he talks about the imaginary new sections of the wall and the imaginary new U.S. Steel plants. This BS is right in his wheelhouse!
Agree 100%. As a now retired business person I am baffled by the total lack of business understanding or even basic know how in the Republican Party. Businesses want predictability and consistent rules that apply across the board. They really care little, for the most part, about tax policy or even regulationâso long as they and their competitors have the same rules. In fact, business execs thrive when there are known or knowable constraints. Jeesh but these so called pro business legislators are stupid, ignorant, and dishonest.
And all the H-1B visas they can fit in a boxcar.
The original deal was struck by then-Gov. Scott Walker and Trump.
Then we automatically know it will not only be a haven for criminality, but a complete business disaster!
