          This corrupt company worked with the corrupt republican governor to really hurt my state. They can get fucked and I have zero interest in giving them any benefit of the doubt nonsense. This was all planned.

      Yes COVID happened but this deal was always a sham. You just haven’t learned enough about it.

          Dude supply chain issues are things like your washing machine is back ordered for two months. And they get better. This is billions of dollars in supposed investments that never showed a sign of arriving and still has not despite the pandemic abating.

          I can tell you’re feeling defensive but don’t let that stop you from just googling this topic and reading what you will easily find.

          For starters it was to build lcd screens. You know…those things that were already being replaced back before 2017 by oled.

          Before ground was broken the entire industry already knew LCD tvs and panels were being replaced, yet that’s what the “state of the art” facility was going to be manufacturing.
