There is a worldwide semiconductor chip shortage. Car manufacturers now have shutdowns due to this chip shortage. Then I stumble on a CNN article about the FoxConn factory in Wisconsin. Trump heralded it and now it sits empty. Or does it?
In the middle of the article is this little gem:
"During the early days of the pandemic, Foxconn made face masks and ventilators at the Wisconsin plant. But the company hasn't revealed how much of its 1.4 million square feet, spread across three buildings, is now being used. It says its plans are based on "current projections for digital infrastructure hardware products through 2025," but did not provide any specifics about those products. The company says it currently has "several hundred" employees at the property."
Trump is always thinking ahead. Semiconductor chips are integral to our economy. What is happening at the FoxConn plant in Wisconsin?
The Foxconn development site in Mt. Pleasant, WI is far from completion and the office buildings downtown Racine and Milwaukee have been sitting empty, tables and chairs inside only. Not sure where they would have been manufacturing anything?? At one point Foxconn asked to convert their building permit to one that would be used for storage only. In another conversation they claimed they were going to install coffee kiosks in place of manufacturing LED panels, and later iphones. Not one thing has materialized except for a disruption of every road going in and out of Racine due to infrastructure and water lines.
