Recent protests in St. Louis may repel Amazon as it mulls over its metropolitan options for its second headquarter’s location.

“There is no good timing for something like this and it will have an impact,” said Didi Caldwell, founding principal with Global Location Strategies, which helps companies choose locations for new businesses and expansion, according to a Reuters report published Saturday.

“St Louis is a DemocRat city. They don’t want to work, anyway”
Screw ‘em.
They don’t want to work anyway. It’s the white folks of the town that will get screwed. Yeah that sounds racist so what.
“St Louis offers opportunity for the entrepreneur.”
Plenty of cheap real estate too.
I'll alert the Kansas City International Airport and the Indianapolis International Airport that they don't exist.
Don’t cha just hate it when your liberal friends get in the way of your liberal workplace plans?
“Amazon will pick a red county in a red state with right to work laws. That is in spite of their politics.”
Liberals are always conservative with their own money. Amazing!!! /s;)
I suspect St. Louis’s chance was pretty close to zero to begin with.
“Funny thing about progressives. After they destroy where they live, they move on to a better place, and what’s the first thing they do? They start putting in the same system that destroyed their previous home. It’s not that they never learn, they refuse to learn.”
that’s EXACTLY what happened to Colorado during the last 40 years.
Amazon is a lousy employer. Repetitive motion for all. Inept shipping.
Not to worry - the protestors aren’t part workforce anyway.
Kansas City has one or two flights a day to Toronto and one or two flights a day to Mexico. Indianapolis has flights to Canada. Technically speaking they are "international airports" but I'm pretty sure that Amazon is looking for more international options than that.
This is a lump of staff, not logistics.
Then those jobs aren’t worth the subsequent political costs that evolve from harboring libtard conglomerations.
As good as the revenue and job benefits look, America lovers should always root for progressive companies to locate so as to stew in the byproducts of their politics. Encouraging them to locate operations in patriotic areas is just a recipe for diluting those areas to mediocrity and misery.
Makes sense to me.
St Louis has Lambert (or Lambeau as a a former president put it) International. And since TWA was absorbed by American which ended up abandoning it as a hub I would guess it has a lot of underused capacity.
There is a lot of abandoned, dilapidated property, unfortunately, it is not in the part of town that workers would feel safe commuting to. Lots of blacks in St Louis are holding down decent jobs and would be glad to get a solid job with Amazon—they are not the ones that are causing St Louis’s woes. In fact, if you look at the demonstrations you’ll see a lot of white Auntie Fas participating.
Most whites in St Louis city and county do not live in black-majority neighborhoods. That is seen by some as obvious racism.
I am inside an Amazon right now. I am an objective lad though. Two folks right here enjoy the work.
Good work makes a successful living. Beats begging Soros for meager checks. The Amazon here looks like a great opportunity for staying fit.
When these places robotize, they will not be perfect and workers will be needed to keep it going.
This shakedown organization needs RICO'd.
They’d serve themselves and their customers better locating in a less riot-prone city. I don’t want my stuff held up by Antifa commies.
Cincinnati has a huge international airport, good real estate values, culture, sports venues, —and it’s share of race problems.

Really hard to find a city that is large enough to support and international airport and free of racial tensions.
