Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer Foxconn is struggling to find enough skilled workers for its planned facility in Wisconsin and may bring in personnel from China, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

The report said Foxconn, which makes devices and components for Apple and other tech firms, is facing a tight labor market for the manufacturing plant, which is getting some $3 billion in incentives from the midwestern state.

The company has pledged to hire 13,000 workers at the southern Wisconsin site, but some reports say the total may be lower as Foxconn scales back its initial plans.

They should offer American workers more festive suicide nets.

    anyone who actually knows what collectivist means and uses it in complete sentences in the way you do is completely out of their trees.

    Ayn Rand was insane.

    That she built a substantial cult following is due to the propensity of charismatic psychotic people to become cult leaders.

    But I'm criticizing the messenger but not the message: have a read of what some real philosophers have to say about what she alleged was a real philosophy.

    I took a philosophy class once - ethics. Real philosophers like nothing more than to publish hair-splitting arguments that go on for millennia. They don't regard as valid those attempts at philosophy that cannot survive criticism from opposing philosophers.
