All right, high-tech job creation. Local country bumpkin Kelly Gallagher. Must be ecstatic.
Look, lady, I came here to do a feel-good puff piece about foreign corporations creating jobs for farmers or whatever, okay? Are you telling me that's not happening?
Well, you can't fault... Foxconn for putting money into this town and trying to make something happen.
So a bunch of village idiots borrowed a billion dollars to get Foxconn to come in. Foxconn comes in and goes, hey, we can give you guys civilization, take you out of the farms.
What was Foxconn promising to build?
Amazing. I love those.
I love those too. I love all screens.
Okay, but you know what? Who doesn't like coffee?
Okay.
Of course not. I'm not a dumb farmer.
Fine, I will. This simple villager wasn't making any sense. Alan and Foxconn assured the residents of Mount Pleasant that it would be bringing a state-of-the-art tech hub to its barren farmland. But instead, all Foxconn built was a bunch of roads to nowhere. What the hell? Two empty warehouses and a lame disco ball in the middle of an empty field? Hell, I needed answers.
Where the hell is everybody? I was told there was 13,000 jobs. Yeah. Sorry, sir. Just wondering, where are the jobs at? The jobs, there's 13,000 jobs. This can't be right. And even if there aren't any jobs or products or transparency, surely Foxconn has a plan.
Potato chips or microchips, who cares? Just make something. That's what people want, for Foxconn to make something in this factory. It takes a village. It takes a village to build a factory that makes nothing. You got me there. Alan did a great job at showing the very thin line between genius business plan and scam. Okay, I think I see why you're so upset. You got catfished.
You know what catfishing is.
But why did they do this? If it's so bad for everybody, why did this happen?
In true Trump fashion, he made a promise, never delivered, and left someone else holding the bag. Was there any way to turn this development disaster around?
Okay, 2,000 is quite a step down from 13,000.
What are you even making there?
Wait, but that, if it's an AI center, it's going to take jobs. They're going to replace workers. You're going to end up with less jobs than before.
Actually, no. Because no jobs will be zero. This will be negative jobs because you'll be taking other people's jobs.
