Great podcast on how the whole deal came about

https://www.gimletmedia.com/reply-all/132-negative-mount-pleasant

Today's article about how it's all falling apart.

Meanwhile everyone in on the deal already got their cut.

there's so much fertile ground of that attacking point.

meanwhile the people at/near the top concerned about finding their "kindler, gentler" way of doing the same.

Dems should use an example where government messed up to tell us we need a bigger government. Yeah, that’s about right.

he said gop fucked the working class. which they did (do you disagree?).

but in terms of big/small government...this is textbook small government republicanism.

environmental regulation exemptions, billions in corporate tax cuts/incentives (largest in history to a foreign company), financial accounting based on unsubstantiated projection of future job growth, etc.

what about any of that is big government? just the fact that the government was involved?

Said company then proceeded to not live up to their end of the deal and still got more money anyway.

If your takeaway from this is "the government should not give large amounts of taxpayer money to private entities without at least some sort of enforcement mechanism to ensure they do what they said they would do, but really, shouldn't give giant corporations money they don't need anyway," cool.

Your takeaway seemed to be "the real problem was the government had money to begin with," which is a little stranger.

A working class community was displaced on the premise of more manufacturing jobs. There will be know manufacturing jobs and instead the whole area will get gentrified to support foreign innovation.

This guy really shouldn't understand the GOP's appeal more than any minority.

... they don't know that higher taxes on the rich are *highly popular*. They're under the delusion that the public buys into the right-wing economic frame, when the reality is that working-class whites vote GOP for the racism, not the supply-side economics 6/
