Yes and it was always going to be those locations.

This was nothing other than a data mining project - they got all of these other localities to give them some very rich demographic and financial data.

The pretend “selection process” was a scam.

$1.17 a share....really dumped since early 2016. My brother brought this up...it’s where engineers like to buy their office clothing, and there’s some fear they might up and totally close down. Wal-Mart has always had a lousy selection for office dress clothing...but great at farm or backyard type clothing.

I was so glad to hear they were not coming to Texas for exactly this reason. It has been great Abbott has been soliciting business to move here but so many are bringing their CA staff and culture with them that is partially why we got such a close Senate race.

... biggest mistakes possible....
duplication of functions and expenses, galore!
(this is a common government process but not a Success Strategy for private business)

and
locating the duplications in a couple of very high-cost places

.....imho this is a clear signal that Amazon will soon go the way of its mail-order predecessor Sears Roebuck... right down the tubes

There will be a lot of publicity given to the “victims” as they are displaced through gentrification; anyone with a decent salary at the HQ isn’t going to want next to gibsmedats and thugs. The cattle cars are coming for them...

I guess it will be a mixed blessing; they’ll need Morlocks to make their lattes but those Morlocks will be pushed out of the neighborhood as well...

Yup...Liberal Hipsters are all about diversity, as long as their neighbor is another liberal, hipster and the diverse people live a few towns over.

They’ve been ensnared by the Dem racial politics; these hipsters are going to have to endure non-white neighbors just for propaganda purposes. Nobody is going to ask their input; it will just happen, and they will be preyed upon as were the whites who used to live in those areas...

Hope so. I hope they get to live with the consequences of their liberal ideology. I think a lot of the problems in our country would be solved if these liberals were forced to face them every day, especially with regards to immigration.

But, unfortunately for them, they won’t even be able to arm themselves when the bad things happen or go bump in the night. And I’m not sure if any of them are ready for that anyway...

The appeal of the Democratic Party is they claim they will make all decisions for low-IQ people, and protect them from any consequences. It is just a claim, but it works well.

And then those very same people become numb to their situation and are led like cattle, anywhere the Dem’s want them to go.

We are already there; that is why Trump asked urban blacks: “What have you got to lose?”

The message resonated with enough to cost Hillary PA, MI, and WI; she spent her last night campaigning in Philly because she realized black people didn’t like or trust her. She brought along the token Obama, and they didn’t like or trust him either.
