Any coincidence that Foxconn is building a large display factory in Wisconsin?

  The $4 billion in incentives and waiving of environmental reviews had absolutely nothing to do with it: http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/28/news/companies/foxconn-wisconsin-incentive-package/index.html http://money.cnn.com/2017/12/28/news/companies/foxconn-wisco...

    The Foxconn plant deal in Wisconsin is just so disgracefully bad - over $4B in incentives to get 3,000 jobs. That's over a million per employee. It's very reminiscent of sports stadium deals. Except the companies that run sports teams typically haven't had to put suicide nets around their buildings.

  I think that's been in the works for a while, long before any of this tariff talk has been happening. Might have been before trump came into office, but I can't remember for sure

    No, Foxconn came along after the election. Trump has been carrying it around as one of his bigger economic successes. I just have to wonder if Foxconn is now turning the screws to Trump. Give us some protection against the other Chinese display manufacturers or we'll scale down the project.
