With all the problems in Seattle, Amazon may be thinking of establishing the second headquarters as a staging place to pull out of Seattle. The greedy tax to the max Seattle Democrats are now proposing a head tax on employees. Amazon is their target. Imagine the cost of paying a $100/employee tax every year. Amazon had better hurry. The wolf is at their door.
Pulling out of seattle be exactly what amazon is doing.
Yep, that’s my take on all this.
All this talk of HQII is a ruse by Amazon to slowly migrate everything away from Seattle. The only way to do this without causing mass panic among their Seattle workers is to say this is a second HQ. Geographically Seattle is difficult. In some regards they are limited with space, they are 2 and 3 hours behind the rest of the country, and the destructive liberal politics, although loved by Bezos and company, is absolutely counterproductive to the bottom line.
Nope, Amazon is moving out of Seattle. This is just a polite way of ultimately getting out of town — permanently.
I think you have a point. After all, a few years ago Boeing moved its headquarters to Chicago.
