Amazing corporate power play by Foxconn. Congrats. The fact that they do it around the world with little repercussions is amazing.

I fixed some of your spelling errors: "Shameful fraud by foxconn. Shame on them. The fact they do it around the world with little repercussions is shameful."

  It is incredibly shameful, but sometimes the utter disregard they have for the taxpayer is so stunning and brazen that you can't help but admire.

    I actually can help myself. The lack of strong values on HN really scares the shit out of me sometimes.

      If I was in their position I wouldn't do the same. I'm moreso in awe that there are people that managed to get away with this. It's kind of like if you see a horrible weapon that is however very technically impressive, but not quite.

    Why do you admire unethical behavior?
    - sudosysgen 6y ago
      I guess admiration isn't the right word. It's more like awe, at the fact that this is possible at all. If I had any kind of power the first thing I would do would be to stamp out this corruption, but I can't, so here we are.

    It's... quite weird to blame _Foxconn_ for this. It's a company, a government offered it free money for no real commitments (as a fairly nakedly obvious political ploy), it took it. That's what companies do; if it hadn't been Foxconn it'd have been someone else. Most of the blame lies with the government. This is really a story of failure upon failure; the political ploy didn't work out for Walker, either. No-one's happy, in the end.

      I mean, Foxconn is happy. Most of the blame does lie within the government, but the government did this because of decades of corruption by various multinationals. It didn't come out of nowhere.

      You sound like a sociopath right now. Individuals are responsible for their own actions. It's not weird. Stop spreading the meme that it's weird to hold individuals accountable for their own choices. Just stop.
