Foxconn has provided, supposedly, a few hundred jobs. Ooh! Wow!

This has been another boondoggle promoted by short sighted Republicans, namely, Skippy Walker and his cronies. Foxconn has a history of reneging on their obligations all across the country. As Vizzini once said in The Princess Bride, “Never trust an Asian in a land war.”

Wisconsin, the property owners in the area who were forced out by eminent domain, as well as all Wisconsin taxpayers, have been royally screwed by 1 Republicans (again) and 2 Foxconn.

Gov. Evers is trying to forge a deal. We’ll see how it works out, but don’t bet on very much.
