That’s about 50K per person, so if that can’t fix it, nothing can. Granted, the world collectively put 13 billion into Haiti post Earthquake and the government (ours, theirs) and NGOs managed to waste almost all of it without measurable changes.

The state needs more workers to fill jobs, including at a display-screen plant that Foxconn Technology Group plans to build in Racine County, Walker said.

I picture Trump tweeting something like, “REAL PATRIOT G. Gordon Liddy held a lighter to his arm to PROVE Loyalty!!! Not like SAD LOSER Flynn!!!”

Hot take.

The same Scott Walker who weakened unions and advocated for much lower pay and fewer benefits for American workers? And when workers turn their noses up at no workers’ rights and low pay, he shrugs and says, “I can’t figure out why no talented young people want to move here!”
