AMZN kills plans for HQ in NY due to opposition

A Covertibility post not mentioning "Whitey". Will wonders never cease?

This was clearly an oversight. I added it for him (In white font) at the end and bottom of his post below:

The factory or something of jobs today only to be replaced by AI and bots tomorrow all on the backs of taxpayers.

Why is that Google invested $1 billion in office space in NYC but Amazon needs tax incentives?Whitey. Whitey. Whitey.

The dimwit was upset that tax dollars would be used to create those 25,000 jobs. This should come as no surprise as she is advocating tax dollars be used to pay people for not working at all. You could look around the world and never find a better representative of the typical 21st century leftist.

Yeah, Florida is looking better and better every day. (Too bad it's always so damned warm there.)

It's not looking better to those of us who have been here for awhile. As more liberals leave their high tax states to come here, they vote for high tax politicians here...like Gillum. He almost won, and he had some serious tax reform in mind.

NYC doesn’t need no stinking Walmart/Amazon.

Fuck Bezos and shamazon

Saw another article today about how NY is complaining that Florida is "stealing" its population. Well, no shit. Florida's 0 percent income tax is probably very attractive to the alternative of NY raping their taxpayers over and over again and not even having the common courtesy to give a reach around.

Still with global warming and all, I guess the weather in NY is balmy these winters?

Was 40 degrees this morning.

My "complaint" was /sarc. You know, like bitching "it never snows on Waikiki Beach".

Amazon incentives I agree are an over indulgence in corporate welfare. But I think NYC had to throw something at them to get them to agree to build their HQ in a really rundown area that was suffering. I think NYC went overboard but not enough to have the Socialist Democrats revolt and push Amazon out.

Long Island city was not suffering.

Long Island city was not suffering.

Says someone who is obviously not familiar with the Long Island City area of NYC.
