Amazon cancels plans to build headquarters in New York

[rightwinger]

New York does not need Amazon

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

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?

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

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

Very true

USMB has value far in excess of Google and Amazon combined. The new USMB HQ will dwarf anything Amazon could build

They aren't acting like they don't.

What is USMB?

After all what is $3 billion in TAX BREAKS when they were going to produce 25,000 NEW GOOD PAYING JOBS, with all the tax revenue and assorted peripheral jobs accompanied to that move.....NY, A town full of and run by idiots!

Amazon said Thursday it will not move forward with plans to build a headquarters in New York after rising opposition from local politicians.

The company said it will not reopen the search process "at this time. We will proceed as planned in Northern Virginia and Nashville, and we will continue to hire and grow across our 17 corporate offices and tech hubs in the U.S. and Canada."

Proper vales had JUMPED bease oF Amazon coming, as oF today the vales are 6% lower then before the original announcement...New Yorkers ...got to lover the leftist mentality!.

Were they going to be good paying jobs? I don't believe that.

And why don't they go to Kansas or Arkansas or Georgia? Somewhere rural. Somewhere that needs the jobs. NY doesn't need the jobs.

We can't fall for this tactic. You are falling for it. Give us tax breaks or we will leave? Then leave! You got to pay taxes if you live in a good location like NY, Michigan, Chicago, California. If you want to pay no taxes go to a red state. They will welcome those "good" paying jobs. Hell they don't even have to be good.

Jeff Bezos dangled this incredible carrot in front of many cities around the US and then snatched it away. The influx of jobs and revenue would have permanently altered the economic landscape for those regions – for the better. Even in a mid-sized city like Tulsa, Oklahoma the impact would have been considerable.

Go to Oklahoma Jeff. You won't. And why is that? Because you'd prefer to be in NYC bitch!

Did you know this?

Amazon plans to relocate its entire Seattle-based worldwide operations team to Bellevue, Wash., by 2023, adding thousands of employees to its new campus just across Lake Washington, according to an internal email obtained by GeekWire.

I bet Bellevue dropped their pants and Seattle didn't.

Yea but don't you get it? This is a race to the bottom. This is corporations slowly shifting the tax burden from them to you. If they don't pay you're going to have to.

And everyone in that town is going to have to pay for the roads. Even people who don't work for Amazon.

Anyways, good for Bellevue. They just won. Seattle will live. Lets see if all the companies in Seattle move to smaller towns to save a buck. If they do I guess there is nothing we can do about it but something tells me people would rather be doing business in NYC and Seattle not Bellevue, WA.

Plus will Amazon attract the best and brightest? The best want to live in NYC and Seattle, not Bellevue.

Anyways, as long as they keep it in the USA I don't care. In fact I want to see corporate America move to where the Beverly Hillbillies came from. They won't. Even if there are no taxes.

Actually for most people Bellvue is a much better place to live than Seattle.
Seattle is a costly over rated, over crowded shit hole over run by junkies who swell the numbers of homeless people
there due to decriminalization of crime and drug use.

My grandparents lived in Seattle and I was there frequently. What's happened to such a beautiful vibrant city
at the hands of leftists is criminal.

Since Bellvue is only 10 miles from Seattle, only a 13 minute drive, it's hardly any move at all.

That's not hard to believe considering what's happened to Seattle. Seattle, no national model, enables addiction and ignores public safety

Amazon will pay HQ2 employees an average of $150,000—here’s how much further that goes in Nashville vs. NYC and Virginia

Amazon announced on Tuesday that it is splitting its new headquarters, “HQ2,” between New York City and northern Virginia. Specifically, the company chose the Long Island City neighborhood in Queens and the National Landing neighborhood of Arlington, and it expects to bring 25,000 new jobs to each location.

The retail giant also announced a smaller, third investment in Nashville, Tennessee, where it will build an east coast operations hub and create 5,000 jobs.


In all three locations, the average salary for new employees will exceed $150,000 per year, Amazon announced. That six-figure salary looks very different in Nashville, though, where $150,000 will stretch much further than in New York City or Arlington.

Hey I think this is great. I don't like it that these corporations aren't paying their fair share in taxes, but any company that pays this well, I'll give a pass.

Amazon will pay HQ2 employees an average of $150,000—here's how much further that goes in Nashville vs. NYC and Virginia

the cost of living is 53 percent higher in Queens than it is in Nashville.

If you choose to live in New York City’s priciest borough, Manhattan, where the cost of living is 142 percent higher than in Nashville, you’d have to earn $363,262 to maintain the same standard of living you could get for $150,000 in Tennessee.

Only one problem. You have to live in Tennessee. LOL

Wow, so you do understand that progressive polices ruin cities for the poor and middle class, encourage wage and class segregation, and make upward mobility extremely difficult.

So why do you support them?
