...you can be assured they will hire liberals.
The majority of these people, that work for these companies, with the exception of those on the left coast aren't liberal, and we don't hire based on someone being liberal.

Kansas City reportedly in the mix. Although I’d think they’d go a bit further east since the other’s in Seattle.

Boy I hope not. Our experience in Arizona is between the illegals and transplanted Californians (not the conservatives) Arizona has gone from safe red to purple,

It will be in the greater Kansas City area. You heard it here first.

I heard this too, around a month ago.

Let the bidding begin. Who can offer the biggest tax breaks?
To: nickedknack
To do what? Execute Dr. Bezil’s scheme for world domination? Hey, world domination does not come cheap.

It will be in the greater Kansas City area. You heard it here first. It'd be great if it happened. Amazon would have two states competing for it and trying to outdo each other on tax breaks. Win/win for Amazon.

If you mean KS/MO, I don't think so. The place it will be located is on the KS side, not really close to stateline.

I would vote Detroit, as others have mentioned.
It would be nice to see some of these West coast liberals put their money where their mouth is and help to rebuild the USA and help out the minorities they pretend to care for.

Detroit best, but weather might slow down deliveries. Probably Dallas but Atlanta has huge international airport.

As I said above, the greater KC area, KS side, and more specifically, in Johnson Co. I don't see how MO can "compete" for the second HQ if the prospective location is outside the KC metro (i.e., inside the 435 loop). Anyway, who knows, it may not happen.

I don't see how MO can "compete" for the second HQ if the prospective location is outside the KC metro (i.e., inside the 435 loop). I think the KC metro is bigger than you think it is. The eastern border of Johnson County, KS meets the western border of Jackson County, MO. Most of Cerner, Garmin, and Sprint are outside the 435 loop yet people consider them inside the KC metro area. And the two states have been poaching businesses from each other for years.
Anyway, who knows, it may not happen.
That's true. Other sources have given Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Detroit as the possible sites.

I used to live in Merriam, but I don't know exactly where the border of KC metro really is. You're right, though, Overland Park would be KC metro and much of it is outside 435. Not sure where the southern border of KC metro is considered to be...probably Olathe. Would you consider Gardner in the KC metro?
To: agatheringstorm
I used to live in Merriam, but I don't know exactly where the border of KC metro really is. I live in the middle of Lafayette County and I'm still considered part of the KC statistical metro area. And if you've been gone a while then you've missed all the fun with one side or the other attracting companies. Applebee's used to be in Overland Park, then Missouri enticed them to KC with a tax package so they moved to Ward Parkway, then Kansas sweetened the deal and they were going to move back to the Kansas side when Applebee's CEO said screw it, they were moving to California. But that fell through so I don't know where they will eventually wind up. And there are other examples. Both states promise to stop the poaching...if the other one stops first. Won't happen.

Nope
Weather works against it. That and the lousy democratic controlled government
