Ok, so who didn’t see this coming? All of the Democrat Social Justice Skakedown Groups and Democrat politicians have their hands out, demanding Amozon pay them for the privilege of moving to NYC.
How ‘bout them taxes? LOL.
Florida is nice, Jeffy..........................
Ideally, Bezos will announce the switch to Virginia in blackface…
Amazon is trying to extort the taxpayers of NYS.
How the Hell is this not illegal?!?
Actually the locals are mad that Amazon is getting HUGE PUBLIC SUBIDIES when their water, sewer and public transit systems are going to pot.
I thought they made a very good case.
Yep. People with this much stupidity should be punished. Screw them. Open a facility in some other state.
Wonder if ths has anything to do with that $2.8 bil in lost revenue that Cuomo was recently talking about....
“especially with how people in Virginia have been so welcoming”
Yeah, rent’s cheap in NoVa and no traffic
Head fake, they wanted to be in Panem all along.
Can we lay this at the feet of Occasional-Cortex?
The question is whether it’s worth it if the politicians in New York don’t want the project, especially with how people in Virginia have been so welcoming,”
Why not consider building in a State that isn’t killing your future customers?
New York will regret letting a few loudmouth Anarchists and
anti-Gentrification Hoodlums scare this business away.
Areas of the East Bay and San Francisco are going through something similar. Sometimes, a neighborhood will go through a natural evolution. No one is guaranteed that their business or dwelling will always remain affordable.
Think about all those good jobs you could have offered the people.
AOC said she didn’t want them there. I think she should get the credit.
Jeff has to split his pile in half. This ain’t over yet!
Why open in a very high tax area? Go where you aren’t taxed to death.
Why not just open them in prisons? Those facilities are already perfectly designed to match Amazon’s normal workplace environment.
All involved are stupid. ADM and Caterpillar moved downstate world HQs to Chicago and the West Side respectively. The first, as I’ve heard, because the female CEO hated the clothing store choices in Decatur, Illinois.
May the Chamber of Commerce lobotomize itself in short order!
Please just don’t come to Texas, we’ve already got too many liberals as it is.
And deprive the state and city of New York of hundreds of millions of tax dollars?
Who does Bezos think he is?
This is rich, NY progressives against progress. Who would have thunk it? I can’t bring myself to root for cronyism either though so maybe Bezos should relocate and let NYC continue to circle the drain. What a mess.
