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.

A few years back this ice cream swirl design outraged the muslins in the UK, saying it looked like the name of the arab god.
If they choose to decorate it for Christmas, it’s going to look impressive. The rest of the year it’s gonna look like a Christmas tree that they forgot to put away
Bezos Screws America!
Karma...
Watch the TV show “How did they build that”
You’ll be asking yourself “WHY did they build that?”
You think that is bad? Why hasn’t anyone noticed what the arrow on the side of their delivery trucks and packages reminds you of!?
(It is too dark to even mention.)
