Raleigh's on the list! I normally don't get too excited about these type of business announcements, but this should have a real impact wherever it ends up.

It will be Dallas, TX (Plano). They give the largest tax abatements to relocating corps.

Newark NJ should be their choice.

They should come to Philly. There’s a large hunk of riverfront property at the Naval Yard, and it’s close to the airport.

If it’s gonna be Los Angeles they better design it with pre-installed graffiti and bars on the windows. In order to fit in.

And a sign saying ‘Bezo’s Bail Bonds’ would work, too.

For the love of everything keep it away from the DC area.

After the way their California HQ looks, maybe they could just flip a switch and fly it to the new location... with credit to James Blish and the spindizzy.

Two of the main constraints were there had to be a major airport, and it had to have good public transportation.

First, I do not believe that they will pick anywhere north, because of the weather.

The city in the south that best fills the two requirements is Atlanta. But I also think that Nashville has a chance, and Dallas an slight chance.

I do not believe Austin has a chance at all, they have no public transportation, the roads are a mess, and the city government is horrific for business.

Atlanta is probably the best choice considering all major factors.

If it’s about logistics, they’ll add the East coast to complement the west. If it’s about corruption it will be in Illinois.

Any guesses how much the local ratepayer will have to chip in, in order to “win” this competition?

Why buy anything from Amazon anyway?

They support abortion. I won’t buy from them.

I think its gonna be Toronto because it meets all Amazon’s objectives and it isn’t in the United States.

Trudeau is Bezos’ kind of guy and Jeff will reward him.
