Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced on Thursday that he is departing Seattle for Miami.
“Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That’s my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazon’s first “office.” My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of ’82 — GO Panthers!)” Bezos wrote on Instagram.
He shared that his parents decided to move to Miami, and that he wanted to remain physically close to them. He also added that his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez loves the city and that some of his business operations are moving into southern Florida.
“I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami. Also, Blue Origin’s operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. For all that, I’m planning to return to Miami, leaving the Pacific Northwest,” he added.
Blue Origin is an aerospace manufacturer and space technologies company that makes rocket engines for spacecraft and satellites. The company says that it wants to create reusable rockets to meet the needs of both defense and commercial customers.
“I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart,” he concluded.
Bezos joins the growing number of wealthy individuals to leave liberal enclaves in favor of red states. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin announced that he would depart Chicago for Miami, citing violent crime rates.
Ping!.....................Can’t we just say “NO!”???????............
You can say it, Jeff..
it’s about the crime and taxes.
But doesn’t he read his own Washington Post stories about how Florida is too authoritarian?
Sure, the emotion is: “I just saved myself $100 million. Yippee!!”
And too homo and transphobic, lol.
As he takes his politics with him.
Translation: Seattle is becoming a ****hole because of their leftist policies and the writing is on the wall
Hypocrite
Now he can use his money and influence to destroy south Florida.
I mean what could go wrong?
Bezos may be a narcissistic lowlife but he is no fool. Only an idiot would voluntarily live in Seattle.
Low crime rates - no poop on the sidewalks - and ‘the homeless’ don’t run the show. Did I mention ZERO state income tax?
He’ll love Florida... glad Jeff Bezos is coming back...
GD hypocrite, he’s doing it to get out of paying state income taxes
“I will do my best to turn Miami into another sh!thole like Seattle,” Bezos added.
Not really. But that’s will be the end result of the flight of the lefties.
(Somebody ought to write a country song about that. ‘The Flight of the Lefties’.
Jeff might have to squeeze a penny for a while

He should just say that liberalism has ruined the state and Seattle sucks.
Trading heroin for cocaine.
And brings his nasty a@@ to FL along with his politics. A real freak. Boring a@@hole loser trying to horn in on Space X probably. Elon Musk is light years smarter even if Asbergers.
Oh great! Big time rich liberals polluting a red state after they screwed up their home towns.
