What the fuck?!
Nice
Damn ! What the hell !
Yay, another fail by local dumb politicians.
They failed to earmark 3 billion for corporate welfare. Sounds like a win
Would have paid back in tax revenue multiple times over. Amazon jobs were expected to bring ~500m extra tax revenue per year. Stupid as fuck driving them out just so you can be seen to be sticking it to Bezos
The locals wisely decided they didn’t want to subsidize Amazons with 3 billion of their tax dollars
i think it was tax dollars that would have been generated, not coming from current coffers.
3 billion out of 25 billion of taxes they could have collected - extremely dumb. Welfare is when someone needs tour help, this was going to be a mutually beneficial transaction and now they both lost (new york lost more)
Not surprising - they are aggressive
Betcha they end up in Austin.
Good maybe next Amazon will start paying taxes
As a New Yorker, I'm fine with this.
He is one of the best business minds ever.
Oh he is definitely better CEO than Zuk. I personally don't give a damn about his public image as soon as he successfully moves forward with Amazon.
