- detaro 6y agoDon't think that'd help them avoid Indian import duty ;)
- giarc 6y agoWasn't that a flop that produced a fraction of the jobs promised for the billions in government hand outs?
- notatoad 6y agoIt's only a flop if you assume that collecting billions in government handouts wasn't the whole point in the first place.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoIt wasn't the first time this con has been pulled. Greentech Auto did this with an electric car plant in Mississippi.
- missedthecue 6y agoA tax break on future earnings that never materialize is not "collecting billions in government handouts". Foxconn tried to make it work and ended up several hundred million in the red on that project. They didn't come away richer.
- hristov 6y agoThat one is a little existentially challenged. As it only exists in Trump speeches.
- three_seagrass 6y agoYeah, since Foxconn isn't using it: https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/12/21217060/foxconn-wisconsin-innovation-centers-empty-buildings https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/12/21217060/foxconn-wisconsi...
- ksec 6y agoThe whole point of Setting up a plant in India was to avoid / lower the high import tax.
- nojito 6y agoIt's also cheaper to build (per phone) than in China.
- wow_no 6y agoGod, when will the Midwest come around? The coasts are doing so much better, they’re objectively wrong on most issues.
