I for one am disappointed.......Michigan was second in the running.....and we just passed a really sweet waiver of employee responsibility for payroll taxes to help pay for them......

Sure they will. Just like the big plant they were going to build in central PA back in 2013. I'll believe it when I see it.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — For some residents of this small city, there was something familiar about Foxconn’s recently announced plan to hire up to 50,000 U.S. workers, one of the many hiring pledges from companies rounded up by President Trump in the first weeks of his administration. The only difference was the scale.

In 2013, Foxconn’s chairman sent a jolt through this state capital when he said his company — best known for making Apple iPhones in China — would invest $30 million and hire 500 workers for a new high-tech factory in central Pennsylvania. Locals were giddy. Foxconn had a small office here, but this seemed like the start of an entire new industry. Pennsylvania’s governor boasted about the deal. The Brookings Institution think tank hailed Foxconn’s decision as a sign of U.S. manufacturing’s strength.

But the factory was never built. The jobs never came. “It just seemed to fade to black” after the announcement, recalled a local official. It was the start of a mystery, created by a chief executive known to promise projects all over the world that never quite pan out. Yet few people seem to notice. Foxconn and others continue to get credit for deals that never take place.

Just like all the Carrier jobs he supposedly "saved".

And his Mexican border wall.

These damned fools eat whatever shit he dishes out to them.

We'll see, won't we?

Surely it's better than putting companies out of business at lightening speed.

You are scared shitless.

Scared of what? I live in PA and would have been thrilled had Foxconn followed through with the plan and provided jobs for those people.

but Obama was president then......

You think business cares who the president is? It's all about the money. Get that through your head already.
