Scott Walker screwed the citizens of Wisconsin when pushing this deal, knowing it would be no where near the promised levels of job creation.  He further crapped on the citizenry by hamstringing the incoming administration.  Petty ass politician didn't give a crap about the people he was supposed to represent.  But at least he owned the Dems, so it wasn't a total loss.  /s

Kinda like Solyndra. Oh wait, we don't talk about that because that was a democrat screw up.

We probably don't talk about Solyndra because this is an article about Foxconn, Wisconsin, and Scott Walker's screw up.  But hey, if you want to deflect to Solyndra, nobody's gonna stop you.

The article is about Foxconn and the comments are about gov't subsidies to corporations and how Republicans are at fault pointing to Foxconn and Amazon. I'm pointing out it happened under Obama's watch too. I noticed whenever someone brings up something you don't like, it's "deflecting". I see that consistently here, twitter, and other comment boards.

When all you can do is try to point elsewhere, it's deflecting.  If you address me with it, I call it out.  I can 100% guarantee if I claimed someone was deflecting, they were.  My comment history here is open.  Anyone can judge the truthfulness of that statement.  It has nothing to do with me disagreeing with a differing opinion.  If you can't discuss a topic without trying to lay blame elsewhere as if "they did it too" is some sort of valid rebuttal, I can't help you.  I think it's lazy and unimaginative.  The fact that you misread my comment says to me that you spent more time trying to point elsewhere than you did trying to understand what you were reading.  Oh, and you're a liar.  I use twitter to sign into websites.  In the entire time I've had that account, I have made exactly 12 tweets.  None of them discuss deflection, because no one was deflecting.

The “Dems” would have fallen for it too. Both parties are in lock step when it comes to this sort of chicanery. Promise a chicken in every pot, as the old saying goes. And let’s not forget the current trashcan Mac Pro is “assembled” in the U.S. so Apple can claim it manufactures here. Don’t pay any attention to that man behind the curtain, the Wizard of OZ said to Dorothy.

You're misinterpreting what I meant.  "Owning the Dems" has nothing to do with falling for empty promises.  "Owning the Dems" is a reference to the scorched earth actions of  Walker and outgoing members of Wisconsin's legislature.  They made policy to hamstring the incoming administration, screwing the citizens even further... but they owned.

I'm amazed this happened so quickly.  Intel announces it's abandoning a line of business hours after the Apple-Qualcomm settlement?  What was the rush?  They must have thought the market was going to beat them up once Q got Apple's business, so they wanted to pull off the bandaid all at once?

Just a guess, but I'd bet Intel was informed at some point after Apple tested QC's chips that they'd likely be going back to QC chips.  I'd also bet they were told to hold off their announcement of abandoning 5G mobile chips until Apple and Qualcomm announced their settlement.  It would make no sense for Intel to make a knee-jerk announcement to the settlement announcement.  The timing of their acquiescence and announcement was too coincidental to be reactionary.  imo, of course
