When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drove Amazon's "second headquarters" out of New York City, the winner of the much publicized competition to host a multi-billion-dollar office project with many thousands of high-paying jobs was Arlington, Virginia, right across the river from Washington, D.C., where Amazon's founder owns the local fishwrap, the Washington Post.
In return, Amazon planned to build a showy complex of buildings on a riverside plot of land that should be visible from many of the hottest tourist sites in the nation's capital.
As usually is the case with expensive and showy real estate projects, glossy renderings of what the 2.8 million square feet of office towers (about the size of the Empire State Building) would look like were produced.
Architecture, like all the arts, is prone to fads and imitations. Wikipedia lists 32 "twisted" skyscrapers in the world today, every single one of them overseas.

To be fair, if you work there you will be treated like shit.
You can’t polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter. :)

Babel people.
He’s Coming!
It’s a long screw that passes through the center of the earth. The head of the screw is in China.
Yup, soft serve ice cream. The tower just needs a waffle pattern base. DQ or dog poop, take your pick.
I gotta say I really like the long downhill garden path.
They pay really well in the main office. I have close relatives working in the main office in Seattle. They start at $200K+.
Actually, the Myth Busters proved that you can.
Best interpretation so far, and subtle.
I do prefer ice cream to poop.
Sure, but it ruins the joke. :)
I’m gonna have to look up that episode, BTW.
I believe that, but what percentage of the workforce is that?
Especially if you factor in subcontractors.
If you have a Masters in Data Science, you can make some good coin.
“To be fair, if you work there you will be treated like shit.”
Amazon management gets paid very well. It is the warehouse workers and drivers who are treated as expendibles and they make up 90% of the workforce.
Obviously, you must be "deprogrammed" to be acceptable in the New World Order.
“I do prefer ice cream to poop.”
But if you had to pick which one you could never have again, which would you choose?
