There&#x27;s a wonderful Reply All episode from December 2018 that covers the dramatic origin story, featuring lots of colorful small-town politics and an explanation of the bait &amp; switch tactics commonly used by Foxconn:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gimletmedia.com&#x2F;shows&#x2F;reply-all&#x2F;wbhjwd&#x2F;132-negative-mount-pleasant" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gimletmedia.com&#x2F;shows&#x2F;reply-all&#x2F;wbhjwd&#x2F;132-negative-...</a><p>It&#x27;s a good listen even now, now that this story has played out the way it has..

What even was the point of all this? Money wasn&#x27;t given outright to Foxconn in large quantities, right? There was little reason for them to just lie about their intents while not planning on following through on any of it. That doesn&#x27;t really help them out either.<p>Wisconsin got played really badly, but I don&#x27;t understand what even Foxconn is getting out of it at this point. Did they just change their mind and decide it wasn&#x27;t worth building a factory there at all, but for whatever reason just won&#x27;t come out and cancel it all?

&gt; [State House Minority Leader Gordon Hintz] believes Foxconn is trying to slow-walk the project until 2020, continuing to use it to win Trump’s goodwill in the trade war and waiting to see who’s elected.[1]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;4&#x2F;10&#x2F;18296793&#x2F;foxconn-wisconsin-location-factory-innovation-centers-technology-hub-no-news" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;4&#x2F;10&#x2F;18296793&#x2F;foxconn-wisconsi...</a>

The point was to give Scott Walker and Wisconsin Republicans a boost in their efforts to hold on to the Governor&#x27;s office and control of the legislature. The facade of the factory coming only had to last as long as the fall election.<p>In return Foxconn curried favor with President Trump, who tied himself to the factory coming, and the political party in control of both house of Congress at the time.

This is mostly just a rehash of The Verge&#x27;s original reporting. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;5&#x2F;13&#x2F;18565408&#x2F;foxconn-wisconsin-innovation-centers-factories-empty-tax-subsidy" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2019&#x2F;5&#x2F;13&#x2F;18565408&#x2F;foxconn-wisconsi...</a> (which is linked to in the techdirt &quot;article.&quot;

I know most people don&#x27;t want government to be run with these &#x27;back scratch&#x27; promises and corruption-<p>But those who advocate for more taxation, how do you stop this kind of corruption?

I know a guy who had been offered a job at one of the facilities, but they kept delaying and delaying the start date for months. There&#x27;s been a lot of local politicians talking about how and the deal was and undoing it so it could be that Foxconn doesn&#x27;t want to deal with dumping even more money into an area with political instability. Like, they did go thru the hassle to build a giant empty building so what would even be the point of doing that?
