Probably not. But NYC is so hostile to Amazon. Maybe charge a $5 surcharge on all orders to deal with their awfulness.

One of his minions will make the call.

Jeffie is too busy doing reps to tone his muscles for his newest bimbo.

Poetic justice, and a real inflation booster for all those Amazon Primesters.

Yes, shut it down. New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania are all close by.

Have you guys ever been in an Amazon warehouse?
Staten Island is the most “conservative” of NYC Boroughs.
Move it where?

So - kiss a bunch of jobs goodbye - as when Bezos is having to decide where to cut costs and shut facilities - they move to the top of that list.
