I recently listened to an old episode[1] of the “Reply All” podcast from 2018 after someone on HN recommended it. It’s a crazy story about Foxconn opening a plant in a small town in Wisconsin and the NDAs with local politicians made it difficult/borderline impossible for residents to push back because they didn’t even know what was happening until it was already approved.
