Lee Camp dives into a story that perfectly illustrates the stupidity of late-stage capitalism. Foxconn is a massive Chinese electronics manufacturer that became well-known for putting up suicide nets to stop its employees from killing themselves – and for making the iPhone. In 2016, Scott Walker, the former governor of Wisconsin, offered significant tax breaks to Foxconn if they would bring 13,000 temporary jobs to Wisconsin workers. Foxconn accepted the deal but soon realized that they couldn’t build a profitable electronics factory in Wisconsin. The story just gets stranger and sadder from there. In ‘Taking The News From Behind’, Camp covers the newest hyper-religious Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the continued trend of police killing young black people without any accountability and then beating those who protest against their violence, and Trump’s shady tax history.
