The factory isn't the only goal. You'd need to establish an entire technology parts/robotic machine/liquid crystal manufacturing support/plastics support/on and on in the US. Those suppliers would naturally try to support a number of manufacturers and would create hundreds of jobs. Also, you could base your tech business in the central US and manufacturer out here without flying back and forth to China from California. It's literally trying to build an industry from scratch.
One more major item, you'd almost need to import a first round of manufacturing engineers as we currently have none in the US capable of running the factories (as we don't have the factories) so you'd be creating that infrastructure as well. Finally, look up the ballpoint pen problem that China has.
Written agreement with specific performance and job creation goals or no money was a part of the deal fully negotiated. Some people are upset about the utility upgrades made to the area, but it is the fastest growing corridor in the state anyway.
The idea of the Covington kid just standing there smiling and not aggressively cornering an old veteran was a conspiracy theory contracting news reports that went through layers of fact-checkers and editors... I have a feeling this is more in line with the things YouTube really wants shut down.
"Remember when I told you this was a slippery slope when you cheered your guy doing it?"
"Sure, but this is so much worse"
"Yeah, that's how slopes work...." (heard it on Instapundit today...)
I still want him to apply the DACA philosophy to gun laws... Executive order directing ATF to ignore all law violations... If for no other reason then to go to a direct path in the courts to eliminate those executive powers for all time.
Think of the wall this way, it would give up any excuse and force a comprehensive reform in immigration. This not only restores the rule of law to immigration (itself immeasurable important) it forces the quasi-slave state the US is creating in having non-citizens with rights only given by "hey, we'll look the other way for now" to go into a legal, defined, protected status.
That's what makes these stories perfect. Either report on how someone outside of government had access to a government email account or how someone used a non-government account before and while transitioning into government.
Report that the presidents wife Is illegally using government resources or that she didn't use them enough.
Report that Trumps people are diplomatically inept and unwilling to take a perfectly reasonable meeting with Russia or report the scandal of how they were meeting with Russia... if you can flip a modern news story around and get just as bad of a scandal then it isn't news. And a lot of it isn't news.
Evergreen quote: There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted â" and you create a nation of law-breakers â" and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.
I don't see how the zoo interchange expansion was a huge boondoggle. The road budget has been tight and doing two large projects at once without near Milwaukee with no support from Milwaukee does cause a lot of problems with outstate republicans.
As far as Kimberly clark, they asked for state aid to affect their decision to stay, I don't see how that makes it a boondoggle for Walker.
I'll admit WEDC was a waste of money, I don't like trust funds but I understand how they can encourage small business and help larger businesses in a competitive market. I understand they didn't meet their targets but $124 million isn't exactly a huge loss and boondoggle to me means something more than that. I understand how someone else may have a lower threshold.
The state did blow $50 million alone in the termination clauses to contracts with Talgo in the hope that a bunch of last minute too poisonous to kill contracts would be enough to save the train.
Who wants no constraints on business?
Government graft is dependent on the ability to have pull or some other control over others. Less pull means less control means less graft opportunity. You have a small, open government with a $75 million and you can't steal a billion dollars from it. You create a dozen agencies, cloak them in secrecy, and give it a $12 billion dollar budget and watch a billion disappear from that budget and/or extra intake from the regulated siphoned off.
Communism has the same issue, the powerful become rich. In capitalism the rich can become powerful which is why the country is a republic instead of a direct democracy.
He cancelled the high speed choo-chop even after the massive penalty of you break these contracts were signed as Doyle packed up his stuff.
So yeah, he has the balls.
The politicians actually cutting budgets and slashing regulation are the ones crippling the opportunities for graft... Yet, all these people who claim to be against graft are demanding I denounce those politicians and giving me one or two things where they actually were okay with government spending and shouting "corruption."
So, how is this a boondoggle? Maybe if you've never worked in architecture, engineering or business you expect plans to remain like government projects and not evolve in concept or execution but otherwise you are just misrepresenting a normal process.
Tech moves quickly, the legislature structured a deal that gives Foxconn very little unless they follow through. The potential economic multipliers are massive in this project.
Think about a smart device maker. Right now you base yourself in California and then fly to your Asian production resources regularly. Since there is no overall infrastructure for domestic production you simply deal with all the problems. Now you have a plant like Foxconn in the US, then you have entire supply chains open up and move into the domestic environment. These suppliers will fight to supply new domestic manufacturers. It's a very nice problem and helps leverage the "ballpoint pen problem" found in China. It also helps the Midwest become attractive for data center providers. Base yourself in one area to build your web app and devices with a single engineering team that is highly integrated.
(It also helps a Taiwanese company prepare for the potential "challenges" being in China, when they might need to nationalize some businesses or otherwise take charge of their island)
If Wisconsin had spent $4 billion on a high speed rail then we'd likely have the few miles of track to nowhere like California and no economic growth to show for it. That would have been an awesome way to use money.
Finally, a rant with some collected facts isn't persuasive. A few weeks ago their civil engineer didn't check quickly enough after a storm and footage of muddy water and an overturned silt fence was turned into a emergency.... that same weekend the sewerage district used its EPA approved permit right and dumped millions of gallons of "partially treated" sewage right into the Great Lakes a few miles away without a whisper from any of the enviromentalist pearl clutchers.
Before that the water was going to be taken from the lake and used in the process and evaporate processes like cooling and that was an emergency, then the plant announced a close loop system and evaporative uses only and suddenly the critics moved onto the next thing.
It's important to note that a lot of this has to do with payment processors who are under intense pressure from their regulators to police themselves far more than required under law. So the government does not have a neutral opinion in this. Operation Chokepoint and it's constant expansion for instance.
Something happened as a god excuse to shutdown the remaining platforms before the election.
The worst mistake made by the blog-o-sphere was consolidating into platforms that had a strong ideological bent and zero interest in free-speech.
Yes, geopolitically he's kicking Putin on energy, trade, the Middle East, Iran and everywhere else, but once the election is over he'll have more flexibility and planeloads of currency shall fly again.. but you know better because someone might be charged.
Holy crap, he's made the crowd that spent a decade arguing the guns free school zone act was clearly regulating interstate commerce because kids grow up to work in businesses across state lines argue against the commerce clause.... he's truly evil or maybe you don't really believe a tenth of what you are saying or maybe both....

Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
It's easiest to snipe a busy person who is too busy getting things done to see the trap you've laid for them while producing nothing else.
Don't ever mess with someone who has more free time than you, and talentless SJWs have plenty of time.
The Nazis spent their time cultivating ENVY. Js were in power by trickery, they don't deserve their wealth, they cost Germany WWI, they only allow their own people to power, they don't care about people like you! Please help us take them down, it's the right thing to do!
It's the same arguments and methods, right now it is a nebulous "straight white male" which shifts definition when seeing an Asian and again when seeing a South American. They are refining the hate engine and seizing institutions through single points of absolute control. I don't like stage 2.
Our government keeps telling us, less fat more grains and as much sugar as you can stomach and somehow it isn't working... surely Atkins couldn't be right!
Michelle Obama worked hard to make sure my kids have a roll or some type of bread with every meal and made sure any kid with a non-grain diet has their meal confiscated and given a proper lunch.
The worst part is that restaurants have been firmly discouraged from providing high fat meals as they replaced fats with sugars for decades. Hopefully we can reverse this by deregulating and getting the government out of the diet business.
Manager-Tools.com has a podcast with several podcasts explaining how.
Bottom line: we are moving to a huge database of data and recruiters are working with the company to identify ideal traits (worked for manager X at company Y after graduating from a private school and spending some time in associates industry z) they can put together by analyzing top performers. They then do very targeted searching to get a short list and reach out to everyone on it.
You want to be on those shortlists by using keywords and spending time revising your profile. You also need to find recruiters who aren't trash in your industry (deal with strong clients and are true professionals) and then reach out to update them and build a relationship.
I get 3-4 inquiries a week just by inmail and 4-5 recruiter connections. I've found 3 jobs out of the blue with LinkedIn without even starting a job hunt.
Though shall not speak of the effect having every person in power at the FDA or anywhere else sign their "blood oath" to the democratic/Republican Party mainstream during the election or the fact that all these political fixers are out on their ass and out of the way.
It makes people who support the old status quo cry and downvote.

The difference between having to import at all costs and choosing to import superior fuels is significant.
