    Idk, sounds like another FoxConn lie to siphon off public funds and underdeliver.

      Put up a shack, hire 10 people, pocket the remaining money, pay it to yourself in dividends and stock buybacks. Huzzah!

        It’s called healthy skepticism and it saves lives. By preparing for all worst case outcomes we can help prevent them all.

          Skepticism is healthy when you’re actually making a decision and you decide you need more information.

          By preparing for all worst case outcomes

          Are you actually making any preparations or are you just throwing out cynical assertions based on bad vibes?

            If I had to make a decisions in this exact circumstance I sure as fuck wouldn’t write Natron a blank check for the state treasury. Yeah, I’m saying I want more information before I endorse this.

          So doomerism it is then…

          Immediately assuming that every potentially good thing that happens is actually fraud, without evidence, is just paranoia.

          Saying that it is a fraud publicly, without evidence, is just disinformation.

          Believing things without evidence isn’t “healthy skepticism”, it’s just credulity. Don’t be a rube.
