By the way how does this article interest hackers/tinkerers in any way? Answer without bias.

Corporations don’t have speech interests. The majority’s opinion in Citizens United is premised upon the assertion that they do.
If a state passed a law that corporations may not put a kosher or halal marking on foods they sell, would you find that law constitutional? (Certainly it's not interfering with the corporation's freedom of religion interests, is it? Corporations don't practice religion!) The problem here is that there's no simple or intuitive description of the solution we want besides "The right to free speech does not extend to the…
Alarming if true. Seems to me, being someone from Wisconsin, that Evers coming in and them pulling out are pretty coincidentally timed. It's almost is if he drove them out, but that can't be true because someone wrote this article that so caringly fears it's worse than that! Egad, it makes one wonder what to believe!

It was obviously stupid and controversial at the beginning and this was going to be the obvious conclusion.

Everyone knows American workers are way worse than chinese blue collar workers. This is a well known fact among factory owners in China. Foxconn is not stupid, they've done such a thing before when migrating manufacturing to China. If American workers were good they'd take this project seriously too. They aren't, and the screw ups are just a result of certain executives not taking the project seriously and not provid…
Does anyone in the bay area have experience working with Foxconn?

I fixed some of your spelling errors: "Shameful fraud by foxconn. Shame on them. The fact they do it around the world with little repercussions is shameful."
It is incredibly shameful, but sometimes the utter disregard they have for the taxpayer is so stunning and brazen that you can't help but admire.
This is very good information, but the wrong narrative. This was not some 'fake deal' by a Chinese firm to get subsidies, it looks like they probably barely broke even on this one - if that - and no company wants to have big ugly stain failures like this.
