Trump and Scott walker promised a Foxconn factory in Wisconsin would make thousands of high paying jobs, it was total bullshit, ended up just being a giveaway of taxpayer money, the jobs never materialized to nearly the extent claimed. There are good articles out there on it.
Well shit, I’m drawing a total blank on it and I can’t find anything that looks like it in my listen history from the last couple days but I’m certain I heard it the other night. That’s really bizarre, sorry. I’ll post it if it turns up for me.
Jobs data is always faked, and the most efficient way to generate jobs is for the state is to employ people directly to do things without needing capitalist intermediaries to skim/devour profits
What was the foxconn debacle?

I listened to a good podcast on that recently. I think it was Worst of All Possible Worlds? I’ll see if I can find it for you, it was really funny.

Finally found it, it was the latest episode of The Antifada.
Awesome, thanks, I’ll give it a listen!
