In 2024 I discovered a truck repair facility that abruptly closed overnight in 2020, with everything including cash still in the registers... In 2025 I returned, the shop was completely vandalized. 2 months later, the owner was there, and the story he told me was terrifying...
In 2017 after spending over 100k in permits to build a bigger shop, Mr. Erickson, the owner, was refused.
Finally the city of Mount pleasant Wisconsin replied: they were going to buy 100 farms including his property for the soon to be foxconn TV plant.
As dozens of his neighbors moved out, he was left in the dark. He continued operations.
After everyone was gone. He got a deposit of 1 million dollars from the city. He never asked for this.
He went to court, it was his property, he didn't want the money. It was too low.
In 2020, he came to his shop to find road blocks on his driveway. His items still unmoved from yesterday's work operation.
When he tried to go back on his own property, police arrived to cite him for trespassing.
Foxconn was never built, and his shop stayed abandoned for years, untouched.
But the city still fought his every day.
In 2025 his shop was burglarized and over 100k of items were stolen. In order to go back to recover his assets, he was forced to sell for pennies.
Months later, the city sold his land for millions more to BILL GATES to build the most powerful data center in the world.
