Our worthless cuck governor was sucking some bezos cock trying to get these commies to come to GA. They'd just import trash from other States to fill the positions, except the cleaning crews.


From WSJ:
New York City and Northern Virginia will be the homes for Amazon . com Inc.’s second and third headquarters, according to people familiar with the matter, ending a more than yearlong public contest that started with 238 candidates and ended with a surprise split of its so-called HQ2.

The imminent announcement is expected as soon as Tuesday, according to the people. Other cities may also receive major sites, some of the people said.

Amazon is dividing the second headquarters evenly between New York’s Long Island City and Arlington County’s Crystal City neighborhoods, which are both located directly across from the major city centers. The company plans to evenly split the operations with as many as 25,000 employees in each location.

The decision effectively gives Amazon a major presence in three coastal hubs that politically lean left, at a time when tech companies are under scrutiny for their perceived elitism and liberal social views.

I have to wonder...

Is Amazon creating all the "additional HQS" because they see the writing on the wall? As in, they're going to get hit with having a monopoly, and have to break themselves apart (ala Ma Bell of the 70's).

Just wondering out loud here....

I think it's more of they can only leach so much out of each state and decided if they split the bid for who will pay the most money to Bezos for the "kind favour" of a warehouse that destroys local jobs, pays almost no taxes and employs almost nobody and for sure nobody at a wage or working conditions anyone would find okay.

Splitting it into 2 or 3 states lets them suck up the maximum taxpayer money.

And more Senators/congressmen who will be in their pockets with jobs in their districts.

The good news is that they went into pre-existing commie areas.
