So much winning

.ScottWalker managed to give away 4b in tax breaks to a company and project that's everyone knew wouldn't happen. And now what?

That was some already dug dirt they are digging

Another Trump success!! What a deal maker! The most intelligent president, sure!!!

Those of us in Wisconsin knew it was foolish from the beginning.

Wisconsin got conned by the con man and the governor kind man and he got rich and got a lifetime socialized package and he's gone home. Fools all the fools that voted for Trump a con man

Wisconsin got Fox Conned!

The art of the deal...

It’s been a conn

Foxconned SoMuchWinning

ScottWalker and realDonaldTrump Awesome job! I actually thought IL residents would be taking the so called jobs away from WI people, being so close to the state border. But there may not be any manufacturing jobs at all, the sector that really needs it. WI won bigly...not.

Hard to believe. The details of this incentive package make all of us who are in business stare at each other wondering what the state was thinking.

I guess what they were shoveling was horse shit

We have got to do something about coprorations receiving huge subsidies from tax payers

Help us here, PostBaron: “Looks uncertain”? Why the hedge? The story clearly quotes company official: “we’re not building a factory.”

And yet the ink from ex-Wisconsin governor Scott Walker’s signature on the agreement is hardly dry.

So much winning!

So Foxconn has to pay back the money they got from Wisconsin right?

As uncertain as a Trump University Alumni Reunion!!! Foxconned

Let’s get Scott Walker to negotiate the Wall deal. He’ll claim it’s settled and then, months later, say “Never mind. My bad”

This seems more important than a wall. How can we get Trump to support Mfg?!

FUCKING SHOCKING!

Foxcon? Isn't that for furries?

Donald Trump is a conman and a fraud. __ Mitt Romney 2016

Great photo. This is the closest to real work that Walker and Trump have ever been. Their hands blistered up so badly that for days they were unable to remove their napkin rings at dinner without assistance.

Couldn't get approval for giant nets

Our President and his congressional supporters are playing Three Card Monte. When will we stop believing anything they say?

Scott Walker is lucky he lost the election so he won't have to answer for this debacle.

“Uncertain” is the wrong word for the headline. “In the toilet” is more accurate.

This on top of no middle class tax cut, no 10% raises for military, no Mexico wall funds, no repeal of ACA, no new health care plan that covers more and costs less, and on and on.

Never mind, there are 5 big new steel plants opening. Or was it 7 - or 9 -or 20? Maybe it was 50 ?

So much winning it's exhausting. Right RealCandaceO?

lol...another Trump lie...yet, Trump will declare it is up and running..you watch

Is Foxconn gonna start shopping states for an even better deal?

This was predictable. The financial model that companies like Foxconn operates under have been moving away from 'high-pay for low-skill or very stovepiped moderate-skill' human jobs for some time. You either locate someplace with low labor costs and/or use machines.

Is this where Mexico paying for the wall gets you

Gee realDonaldTrump was blustering? really? what a surprise.

Another Trump, Scott Walker economic miracle that loses a bit of its lustre in the real world. Voodoo Economics run amok.

It always did

Wait till realDonaldTrump tweets about this. Foxconn is a big target 🎯

'Hey, Ralph, you can cancel that order for suicide nets!'

Winning

Foxconn reconsidering plans for Wisconsin touted by Trump and then-Gov. Scott WalkerFoxconn is reconsidering its plan to make advanced liquid-crystal-display panels at a plant in Wisconsin and said it will hire mostly engineers and researchers instead of the manufacturing jobs originally promised, according to media reports Wednesday. The $10 billion campus was announced to much fanfare in 2017 by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and President Donald Trump, with the state expected to pony up a $3 billion, 15-year package of tax incentives. The original plan promised to hire 3,000 workers initially with the intent of growing that to 13,000 over time. Now Foxconn Chief Executive Terry Gou says the steep cost of making the advanced TVs in the U.S. is a nonstarter. "In terms of TV, we have no place in the U.S.," Gou told Reuters in an interview. "We can't compete." The news is a blow for the state, but comes as no surprise to Gou's critics, who've taken note of his history of making and breaking promises in numerous countries and regions over the years, as MarketWatch has reported. Others criticized the project as making little economic sense as the state would effectively be paying more than 100% of workers' pay for years. Republican Walker lost a re-election bid in November to Democrat Tony Evers. Can't blame them Dems taking over in 2020 and not going to be good for taxes. Who better to have been touted by Drumph!

Barclays CEO: We'll likely be uncertain about Brexit right down to the wireU.K. Prime Minister Theresa May's initial Brexit deal was rejected by a majority of the British parliament last week. Barclays CEO Jes Staley predicted there will not be clarity on the Brexit process until right before the March 29 deadline. In other words, the UK is in the same fucked up condition as the USA.
