What was the foxconn debacle?

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.

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.

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.

Finally found it, it was the latest episode of The Antifada.
