And yet here you stand, ready to vote for the party that has been blatantly lying to you for several decades about trickle-down economics, deficits, etc. When they had the chance to enact their best policies for 2 years, rhose same people spent 2 months and created a massive tax break for corporations and the wealthy which had almost zero impact on the trajectory of the economy.

Congratulations on being such an astute observer of what the other team is doing wrong.

On the plus side they ballooned the deficit.

Policies in which you have to lie to your voters that the middle and lower class won't have to pay taxes is something I can never support. Sorry.

"Ideas" in and of themselves are great - but when it comes to politics I honestly don't care about your childish ideas. I want cold hard facts of how we will accomplish your ideas. Otherwise they are just pipe dreams... which is what millennials and stupid young people are all about. Great at ideas. Zero for execution.

While she might be good with democratic voters - the BASE of any democratic candidate isn't rich people making 100k+.... Mostly because even if 100% of those making 100k+ voted for you then you're still only talking about roughly 10% of the voters.
Republican economics:

Using tax dollars to pay corporations to provide jobs = capitalism

Refusing to do the above = socialism.

i am shocked that the govt is taking action against the company for failing to fulfill their end of the deal.
wait.. the current Wisconsin governor is a Democrat.

ahh..that explains it.

Yeah but our legislature is republican. So it's an interesting situation over here...

State report confirms that Foxconn won’t be doing any manufacturing at their fake LCD manufacturing plant—its a glorified storage shed.

Hey, we have one of those down here too!

States like Wisconsin need to understand something, you cannot buy your way into a technology sector.
You can only attract, graduate, and retain, young tech talent and the tech sector will follow.
To a techie outsider, Wisconsin previously was seen as a "nice" state with some decent colleges, but now appears to be a bitterly divided and dysfunctional one, especially with what we are seeing from its Republican gerrymandered legislature and packed courts.

So what happens in a case like this? It's obvious that Foxconn is not fulfilling its end of the contract but what recourse does the State of Wisconsin have? Do they proceed with a lawsuit against Foxconn? If so how does that work and if Foxconn is in fact found in breach of contract how does the State of Wisconsin go about seeking restitution?

Nothing happens to FoxConn, it's the American way.

How is that commute and why did you delete the text in your original post?

I work from home now, perhaps permanently. The company found out I was more effective at home than at work. I guess I can thank Covid for that. Business has totally tanked. They laid off the three software engineers and I picked up their work. I basically do all the software for the company now. On top of that I am eating a 15% pay cut along with the rest of the company. One more shutdown will end us.... after a century in business.

Regarding FoxConn, if they don't come here I will be very happy. Let them go to New York or California, they need the jobs more than we do. Scott Walker was an idiot for bringing them here in the first place. We never asked for it and we definitely don't want it. We were sitting at about 100% employment, all of it would have meant is a flood of people and a massive decline in the quality of life. I have been to Chicago many times and I wouldn't wish that nightmare on my worst enemy.

This whole clusterfuck is such a perfect encapsulation of Republican bullshit in a nutshell. This is how they run the country.

Is WI tired of the winning yet?

The Wisconsin State Assembly elections of 2018 were held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. All 99 seats in the Wisconsin State Assembly were up for election. The Republican Party maintained a majority it has held since 2011,[9] winning 63 seats, a loss of one seat, and 44.75% of the voting share.

A super majority with less than half the popular vote.

With regards to employment, Donald has lied about everything since he first started campaigning.
Obviously those stories would start to fall apart once he lost reelection.

That's pretty hilarious. Who sees a Foxconn factory and says "yep, that's what we want for our people?" Republicans.

I'd say it's less the nature of Foxconn and more the vision Republicans (including Trump) have. When they talk about bringing jobs back, they envision returning to the days when you could work a US factory job until you retired and pay for your home, car and 2.2 children. That is, an era that's unlikely to come back.

Of course, returning to that era would involve raising wages to comparable levels and increasing taxes for the rich, but Republicans backing this nostalgic factory work won't tell you that.
