Disturbing a company has so much power where it decides to open some new HQs becomes national news. So Bexos chose the two Panems for their HQs.

Amazon is one of the richest companies in the world. Use of tax breaks to attract them is odious.

Stop crony capitalism.

Good for them. I cannot think of areas that “deserve” it more! Two of the highest real estate and tax rates in the country.

Thankfully, Amazon is not going to a Conservative state. I certainly did not want them in Texas.

These two new Amazon HQs are right near the East Coast seats of political power. NYC and Washington DC.
Amazon will be lobbying the Swamp from these two locations.

Of course Jeff Bezos already owns the Washington Post.......More political influence there.

"The billionaire in 2016 purchased a mansion in the upscale Kalorama neighborhood of D.C. for $23 million. With the announcement of HQ2 coming to Arlington, Washingtonians may soon be seeing more of Bezos."

Glad to see that Amazon has such high regards for their employees that they chose two of the most expensive real estate markets in the country for them to live in.

WHEW!!! Dallas is off the radar.

I wasn't looking forward to the rise in our housing prices, and 25,000 more people driving around and voting leftwing.

How is Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto ever going to explain this to his latte-swilling bike-lane using Millenial techie constituents? They thought he had this in the bag.

the NY Times has this somewhat right and somewhat wrong. The way I understand this is that the HQ2 will be split between two cities (Nothern VA and NY) and the COE going to Nashville.

Lol... Queens. All the millenial snowflake HQ types and Amazon execs. They thought they would be skiing outside of Denver on weekends or something like that.

They get Queens and DC. LOL

At least DC makes sense for a CIA front to be close to Langley.
