Amazon and Foxconn in Kenosha, Wisconsin: the new American “special economic zone”

It is for republicans.

About a decade ago Dell was shopping around for a place to build a new plant, promising hundreds of jobs, high wages, etc, and got thousands in subsidies and tax breaks to build it. They took the money, threw up a plant they operated at half capacity for a while, then closed the plant a year or two later. In his lectures Wolff talks about even more egregious examples, like a multi billion dollar stadium in Florida almost entirely subsidized by government bonds that even when completed would take decades to turn something like a profit, and which the corporation benefiting from it is under no obligation should the project fail for any reason.

Corporate incentives are bullshit and any politician that seriously proposes, endorses, or enables them should be marked for public execution. No trial, no excuses, just dragged out of his home in the middle of the night and executed in the street and left for the dogs.

oh kingdoms used to fight each other all the time. in "anarcho" capitalism there would be a shit ton of corporation vs corporation wars.

It's capitalism so as long as production for profit and capital accumulation exists.

Capitalism isn't defined by the relationship between the state and the private sector.

What's the name of the girl standing on the ladder?
