States keep falling for these corporate promises and waste billions of our tax dollars crafting these sweetheart deals.

I don't think the state fell for anything here. The Governor, state Republican party and President Trump were looking for something to call a win as far as job creation at the time. They didn't really care if there was actual job creation. It just need to seem like there would be so they could reap some short term political benefit.
This one seems unusually incompetent.
the dollop did one on scott walker that i listened to a little bit ago where they touch on how bad this deal was and also how much of a weirdo he is... https://allthingscomedy.com/podcasts/456---scott-walker---re...
