Amazon cancels plans to build headquarters in New York

[hadit]

Fuck Amazon.


Amazon, which doubled its profits and made more than $11 billion in 2018, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row...

The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million...

/—-/ And you also say fuck you to the 25,000 lost jobs who would be paying income tax, property tax and sales tax - you imbecile

Amazon was being exempted from $3 billion of taxes as part of the deal. Minimum wage workers would not be able to make that up. Imbecile.

Amazon pays pretty well....I have a friend that went to work for them...he started at 32,000 a year with full benefits...now he makes nearly 150,000 per year...
The minimum wage workers for Amazon are seasonal employees...most of them are semi retired folks....but even they get top quality health insurance and paid holidays and sick pay...and after the busy season is over they get a sizable bonus....This is NY's loss....

25,000 employees would have to pay an average of $12 million in STATE taxes EACH in order to cancel out the $3 billion tax exemption given to Amazon by New York.

How long will it take for your "friend" to pay $12 million in state income taxes on a $32,000 income?

25,000 employees would have to pay an average of $12 million in STATE taxes EACH in order to cancel out the $3 billion tax exemption given to Amazon by New York.

Ummmm…..25,000 times 12 million is 300 billion...…..

Math is hard for liberals and Barbie.

If I were Bezos I'd set me up a place in Tampa FL. Specifically Palmetto.Then go full ballz out with international sales from there. He has the bux for a rail line direct to the port altho trucking is close and reasonable too from that area. Lotsa tough people. Untouched by heat, never gets cold .AC for the office and computer ops. Warehouse with Bigazz fans(Inc).Open air. Great spot for that gig.
Miami would suck, although he has lotsa contacts and land there too. Property taxes kill you there though. I used to shoot baskets with the kid decades back at Southridge close to his parents house.Everyone thought he was a geek idiot. WRONG AGAIN sheep.He done it from little of nothing but a crazy idea and mega drive.
Gota check my orderss. They come direct to where I live WAY down south. He has the customs boys under control.Fast inspection, pay import fees and at the hacienda in a week or so.

Bezos is trying to find a location close to large ports but Florida is not one of the states.

Stupid on his his part. Galveston would be decent, so would Charleston but neither as good as west central FL

i read Google is moving in, and hopefully will be expanding.

Amazon is the wealthiest corporation in the world

If they want another HQ then they can certainly afford to build wherever they want

Playing one taxpayer against another for who will subsidize them the most is a joke

I really should cancel my Amazon credit card.

New York does not need Amazon

Now that they are gone, it frees up money so they can go after the USMB Headquarters deal

That's because they turned down an offer from DerpFury..

It also completely obliterates the massive increase in revenue that Amazon's presence would have generated. There was no money in hand that New York was going to give Amazon, therefore there is none that is freed up. But you knew that, right?

...
Google is set to acquire or expand real estate holdings in New York City, adding enough space for roughly 12,000 new employees, The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter. Combined with the company’s existing leases, Google could have as many as 20,000 employees in the area in the coming years.--https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/google-to-expand-new-york-city-presence-what-we-know

a simple PR issue for Amazon?

Cuomo bitch slapping AOC....BEGGING AMAZON to come back....offer the 4 Billion you dumb ass!!!!!

American Thinker ^ | 03/01/2019 | Rick Moran

Amazon, Inc. was forced to withdraw its bid to locate a second headquarters facility in New York City two weeks ago, but New York state and city political leadership hasn't forgotten them.



Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, major unions, and businesses have all begun a fierce lobbying campaign to woo Amazon back to the city. The governor has been active, talking to Amazon executives including CEO Jeff Bezos, about a new location The original deal was cancelled when radical socialist politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez objected to the tax breaks being given away to convince Amazon to choose New York City.



The reason for the campaign to bring Amazon back? It's all about the Benjamins.



Washington Free Beacon:



In an attempt to save the Amazon plan, Cuomo has spent the last two weeks privately talking with Amazon executives, including Bezos, two people with knowledge of the conversations told the New York Times. While Cuomo did not offer a new location for the HQ2 plan, he did guarantee the executives that there would be support for the plan, according to one of the Times sources. In addition Cuomo's efforts to save the plan, an open letter is being arranged for publication in the Times on Friday, the newspaper reported.



The letter said, in part, Gov. Cuomo "will take personal responsibility for the project’s state approval, and Mayor de Blasio will work together with the governor to manage the community development process."



At least 25,000 jobs would have been created by the Amazon move and Cuomo says that the state is losing $27 billion in tax revenue over the next 10 years.



Way to go, AOC.

Small potatoes

The revenue potential from Amazon pales in comparison to the tens of billions from a USMB Headquarters. There is also the prestige of USMB

all they need is a better capital plan.

do we need, Ice Pirates, to help out?

echelon order; practice makes perfect.

upgrading underground infrastructure can be cost effective. what Ice Pirate wouldn't make Good use of his Cove:



large screen technology could be a positive venture.

Ice Pirates can pioneer the way!

water proof technologies could be used in bathrooms to simulate windows or display the latest market prices.

That's true, though if I stopped posting the value would drop immediately, so keep me happy.
