Looks like dawn is once again ignoring contrary evidence and dogging threads.
Foxconn scales back plans for its first factory in Mount Pleasant
And I'm sure dawn is completely OK with a massive corporation violating it's employee's privacy too right? Tell us dawn are you that desperate that you'd consent to giving away your personal health information like that to a major corporation?
I don't know if you read the link or not. Foxconn will be changing their plans, but eventually expanding them.
The Foxconn Technology Group manufacturing complex that President Donald Trump helped launch Thursday in Mount Pleasant will differ significantly, at least initially, from the original plans.
While two economic-impact analyses prepared last year and the state’s contract with Foxconn say the company will build a type of factory that carves display panels out of immense sheets of wafer-thin glass, Foxconn now says it first will erect a plant that uses much smaller sheets of glass.
Such factories typically are much smaller and less-expensive than the sort of plant Foxconn originally planned, industry observers say.

The firm, however, has said “categorically” that it remains committed to investing the full $10 billion in what it has named the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park, and to creating 13,000 Wisconsin jobs with an average annual wage of $53,875.
In a statement Thursday, Foxconn said it still plans to build the larger type of factory in a second phase of its project, along with "other next-generation manufacturing facilities."
"Our plans for our Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park, including the size of our Wisconsin facility, remain unchanged and they are linked to our commitment to this significant investment and to meeting all contractual obligations with the relevant government agencies," Foxconn stated.
