Lake Wobegon because “all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.”
And if you thought that Walmart were bad for local family owned business, you ain't seen nothing yet!
i don’t care how much people say they save thru amazon and i used to find great used books thru it, I have not bought anything thru amazon in over a year and will not play into the subsidies bezos gets nor give him any of my money. I’m not against him making money, I just would rather support businesses I have similar beliefs and views with or at worst support local business even if I differ on beliefs and views.
Ask them if they still want it when the butcher’s bill for the bribes...er, incentives lands in taxpayers’ mailboxes.
Amazon is far and away the leading provider of (among other things) online storefronts, and they gobble anything relating to electronic business.
They have balanced on a rasor’s edge above antitrust actions for years.
That has to be taken into consideration before catering to them because it’s only a matter of time before Amazon gets chopped up into smaller corperations.

This is one business I don’t want to come to Texas.
Dearborn Michigan is the perfect fit.
I would be glad to welcome Amazon’s new HQ, to Baltimore.
Even though Austin would be ideal as a far safer environment for their second headquarters, the traffic sucks and there’s no place to build it.
People where I live were soooo excited when Amazon announced they would be building a distribution center here.
“Yay! Jobs!”
Guess who gets those jobs?
...thousands of Somalis and Africans they have shipped in.
Guess what happens to the price of real estate?
Guess what happens to the school system?
No thanks.
I once lived in a large city that routinely offered huge tax incentives to companies to move there and they were very successful. However, all the citizens ever saw was an increase in their taxes, prices at the store skyrocket, school systems hurt and a nightmare traffic jam all hours of the day. No thanks, Keep Amazon away from my small part of the world.
I am confused ... I thought they had already chosen a city in Ohio.
