Since the last election, Trump has been a big proponent of the Taiwan-based electronic manufacturer Foxconn's opening of a massive factory in Wisconsin, promising thousands of new jobs. But millions of taxpayer dollars and zero manufactured goods later, it seems like the people of Wisconsin have been Fox-conned. Ronny Chieng investigates. #DailyShow #RonnyChieng #Wisconsin

Even though Trump added 4.4 trillion to the debt and Biden only 2.8 trillion. Trump only created 184k jobs a month. Biden 276k a month. It's not even close who's better! We haven't even factored in Trump's propensity to commit felonies! Why is this race even close???

In a county just north of Cartersville, GA, the board decimated existing standards to allow smokestacks and massive 24-7 trucking on a two-lane road despite well-organized and vehement opposition from the community. At one meeting we were asked "to call them chimneys because it sounds cozier" by one of the company reps. The commissioners involved, despite family ties there going back for several generations, simply moved on to more expensive pastures with some newly acquired wealth. And that's just what they publicly admitted to.

@thelifeofriley7668 19 дней назад

This only happened because the village officials wanted it. These officials said newly built homes were ‘blighted’, which allowed them to take the land and give it to Foxconn. If Mt. Pleasant didn’t want Foxconn, it wouldn’t have gotten off the ground. The trustees mentioned in the video are simple folks without any impressive qualifications. Some run with minimal to no opposition in the village election. On top of that there were just a handful of very young village employees who helped push this through. Trump and Foxconn didn’t push people out of their homes, it was Mt. Pleasant, 100%. Many stories online about it.
