Scott Walker's Foxconn fantasy vs. current reality

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 9/16/2022
There have been high profile announcements promising production of flat screen televisions, coffee kiosks and electric vehicles. None have come to fruition. And the company has not provided any media tours or updates. 
One person, who has spent the last 90 days working at Foxconn, said workers at one building in the massive complex are assembling motherboards — a crucial part of computer hardware — for Google and Amazon. 
The worker's comments — and a video he made — provide a rare insight into the puzzling and secretive operations at the massive Racine County facility touted by former President Donald Trump as the "eighth wonder of the world."
