The tax benefits were basically benefits on future income not losing out on something NY already had in their pockets. But the balance always is, waiving property and corporate taxes in exchange for the economic development and growth of the area and what surrounds it.

One example is the Capital One Arena in downtown D.C. which was built in a dead shitty area of downtown D.C. (at the time it was built, the MCI Center) and what happened to the surrounding neighborhood after it was built. It is like a butterfly effect spreading out.

I don t really hate AMZN for raising the bids on a trading book 0n me in real time, but sorta like a cop said 'I hate what they did'. I bought another trading book, not from AMZN, their bids were to high................................................................................................................... And I bought another Stock Traders Almanac, NOT from AMZN, that idea of raising bids on me browsing a trading book =NO way.I do a lot of business with WMT,XOM, BP,CVX,RDSA. local library but never all of it.I may do business with AMZN again; I may require them to lower bids in real time-not a prediction.
