Foxconn to cut back initial investment in $10bn Wisconsin plant

This'll roll over well.

The $10 billion investment is still the same but...:

So this reduces the local jobs effect, which arguably already wasn't worth the huge investment from Wisconsin.

Companies from abroad must love America for "investment." There are so many morally bankrupt politicians desperate to cling to power that they'll plow however much taxpayer money into subsidies and cash bribes to get JOBS JOBS JOBS, regardless of how useful/feasible the whole scheme is, or how much more efficient it would have been to just put the taxpayer money into more direct investments. And to sweeten the pot, American voters are so stupidly partisan that they'll rarely ever get rid of these worthless morons who make these deals in all but the worst situations, so these investments are safe !

At some point society needs to adjust the way we teach our economic system to children to factor in the politicians that funnel massive million/billion dollar bribes to corporations to generate mediocre jobs that pay less than what the public investment cost. It's become a major component of our broken system.

Can Mitchell appeal to the WOW area of Wisconsin, you know the area where there is a lot of racial tensions from Milwaukee?

Soglin is a no go. He strikes me as a potential power hungry tyrant in the mold of Hugo Chavez. The homeless thing really made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Mitchell definitely has my vote.

I mean Soglin is horrible for a variety of reasons but comparing him to Hugo Freaking Chavez seems a stretch.

Okay I shouldnt have compared him to Chavez but what I meant is that I think he's blowing smoke and mirrors.
