So Wisconsin seems to be getting foxconn

Big win for Walker and Ryan reelection I am sure

Amazed at how a company with the worker history like foxconn get such praise her...
Like I know he beat his previous 6 wives, but it will be different we me sort of thing
I already see exaggerated job claims...3000 not potential 13000
Track record of those involved is not a bastion of honesty...shall we say

1. Trump needs Walker

I wonder if Koch Industries has a business relationship with Foxcom...

I'm also curious about the workforce....SE Wisconsin has a great history for providing heavy manufacturing labor but this is a whole new ball game. Are there enough tech schools and colleges to turn out this workforce quickly?

What about transport from Chicago, Madison, Fox Valley to SE? Can workers commute quickly and economically to SE? Will Foxcom announcement break the stalemate in the legislature on the transportation budget?

Walker has killed a lot of the infrastructure necessary to support industry including workforce training and transportation ...how is this going to work?

2. From New York Times

Known formally as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Foxconn is the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer. It has promised to invest in the United States before, most notably a $30 million, 500-worker plant in Pennsylvania that was never built.

In three years we will see what Foxconn has actually done.

3. Supply chain doesn't make sense

They will manufacture LCD panels that will have to be shipped to (closest) Mexico for assembly. They will also need supporting material providers that do not yet exist in that area.
I hope their projections of jobs bear fruit, but I think this is much more of a political play rather than a realistic economic one.

4. Saw elsewhere a bucks owner suggested foxconn by naming rights to the new arena

And then during halftime perhaps unhappy workers could jump to their death off the scoreboard
