amazon please bring to Indy!
ATLiens right now...
amazon Go open it up in Detroit! Dont you think they need jobs? They deserve it! JeffBezos too busy getting his d!k wet! Wake Up Amazon
So... how many new jobs did local opposition reject.
Instead of Mega facilities, Amazon should build small regional hubs around the US connected by elonmusk's Hyperloop tubes to move freight quickly. Spread the jobs out to communities that need an economic boost and where living is more affordable than NYC!
Good. We don’t want it here.
There are so many things that New York York be better served depending that money on complicated to a handout top one of the most profitable companies in the world. .Amazon can only go to a few markets that could handle their needs, no metro area should cede that tax income.
He’s going to get New York to give him even more to stay 😂
Bezos is a piece of crap and Amazon will never last! It doesn’t even cash flow. It’s all bullschitt
satirist_indian Why not go to poor areas like Mississippi? Or Detroit? Or Puerto Rico?
welcome to O-H-I-O 😲😲😲😲
GOOD.
Uh oh bozo might have to go somewhere that won’t pay him billions to import a bunch of yuppies.
Please come to Ohio!!!
Amazon should seriously consider San Diego for its new offices. I beleive that we would welcome it.
Good, New York is better off with Amazon HQ. In fact all places are. They just ransom the place they will build and deliver only the negative externalities of their presence without providing the jobs they promise.
mollycrabapple it’s working
That didn't stop him from taking over Seattle.
Is it awkward reporting on the person that owns you
Good! They need NYC way more than we need them.
Good for NY!! Now F-off mini-me
Good
Wonderful! Keep up the pressure!
Good!! Please go someplace else. Bezos and Amazon aren't good for America.
good. fuck Amazon. Hope they're opposed wherever they go
Hooray!
JeffBezos bring it to Detroit. We need the jobs.
Good, pay taxes or leave us alone. We subsidize enough billionaires in this state, and country for that matter.
Good!!!
We love amazon here in Kansas! Come on out this way!!😊
Bring it to Oklahoma! We’ll be glad to have it here!
This is a bluff just to mislead the protesters
Camden NJ!
They are so playing hard to get, everyone in NYC send JeffBezos a naked picture, keep him interested!
Why not try the Bronx
amazon stop insisting, NY doesn't need more jobs, move to the next city. How about Texas, Florida, New Jersey? You have many options.
Get them outa here. Can we not make more people get kicked outa their homes?
Come to LasVegas
So depressing to watch the politics around this. If NY doesn’t want the jobs and economic boost, easy to send the opportunity elsewhere.
At least Amazon has free shipping! 😊
Come to rgv amazon
Come to San Diego!!!
The powers there be will be attacking AOC if this deal does not happen. She would not last long in NYC as a congresswoman.The powers there be will make her very uncomfortable. The real democratic machine is at work.
Bring the HQ to Baltimore County.
And his massive mouthpiece takes his side.
Come to Pearland Texas, we have space, people with knowledge, tax benefits, and diversify community. Welcome to Pearland TX. 👍👏😁🤝😄👌
There isn’t a single community in WV that would turn down an opportunity like this. Some people shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. What hard working unemployed people in our state wouldn’t give fo a chance to benefit from an offer like this!
Newark! Newark! Newark!
For those complaining about tax breaks for amazon, state and local economy still get a huge infusion of cash. 20,000 employees at $150,000 and the average state income tax of 7% is ~$210M/year in tax revenue. not to mention property/sales tax, and spending by those employees
In all honesty, if the people of NY don't want 20,000 high paying jobs in their community, there is 0 reason to force it. There are plenty of communities who would welcome them
Obviously politicians in NYC and Albany don’t want or deserve 25000 new jobs.
parksmusic there you go
Move to Atlanta. You can only imagine that pain in the ass Ocasio-Cortez is going to be for you. If you’re going to go to New York you better be ready to give out free stuff.
Local opposition? Didn't work for NoDAPL ... I wonder why? NativeLivesMatter BlackHistoryMonth IncomeInequality
Good
So ZERO good paying jobs is better than 25,000 low paying jobs? ... politicians and small time hustlers derailing a good project...
We will gladly take those jobs in Houston.
Why would they need to 'explore alternatives'? Didn't they just have a year long beauty contest to determine the location? Surely there was a 1st runner up? Otherwise it might seem that the whole thing was just a scam to extract tax concessions from the predetermined city.
Austin we still welcome Amazonhq2
amazon a headquarter in nyc is unnecessary. Already congested & will all the tax breaks the company doesn’t need it’s just taking advantage of an area. Move on. Find another location.
Fact: Jeff bezos is a terrible human
Wow. Amazingly short-sighted. Amazon's location in DC metro will be transformative.
Ummm if amazon pulls out of ny, you idiots need to understand that is not a victory for new yorkers, billions of lost money
Good leave, not a place for Amazon
Who do you think will have to make up that $3B tax break? The workers who make $25k a year Property taxes will rise on homeowners & will increase rents for non-homeowners. Cuomo doesn’t care He’s up in Albany except, when he can hog the spotlight during a snowstorm or nor’easter
Good, New York doesn't need it. I thought Amazon was trying to go somewhere they would help the local economy? I'm over everything being about New York in this country. We get it, it's the biggest city... And supposedly everyone there is the coolest...
Please come to NYC 🙏
Would the high paying jobs at Amazon provide NYC with increased income tax revenue & benefit local stores such as restaurants & nail salons? Are rich ppl good for NYC, as Bloomberg said?
Tucson!
'We want jobs with a liveable wage' -New Yorkers 'Get your jobs with livable wages out of here'- also New Yorkers
Meanwhile all of the protesters are checking out the daily deals on they're Amazon prime apps.. 😁 😁
Reconsider DALLAS!! We’d ♥️ to have HQ2!
Let them work in McDonald's rather than decent paying jobs. Idiots.
Just stay the hell away from Minnesota.
Come to Austin.
Best news I've heard about it so far!!
Come to Mississippi. You won’t regret it. Very pro business.
JeffBezos if NY'ers reject those good jobs, please forget them. OTOH Utah's SiliconSlopes would welcome them gratefully.
Good going by the far left.
CityofNewarkNJ - Hey amazon, it needs you and it's just a half hour from Manhattan. Newark SenBooker PhilMurphyNJ JeffBezos rasjbaraka
How ridiculous that because of a small group of irate people a large number of high paying jobs may walk from an area that needs good paying jobs. Think the incentives are too high? All states give incentives to acquire or keep good businesses. Sports teams are a good example.
Come to Connecticut. We need jobs.
Liberals snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Don’t come to Atlanta
Austin doesnt want it either. How about a city who needs jobs and isnt diluated with traffic like Detroit, MI, Taylor TX, St Paul MN, and Shreveport LA? hq2 AmazonHQ2
Why does Bezos need WELFARE to locate his business anywhere? He is the true WELFARE QUEEN.
amazon JeffBezos it would be welcome in Texas. Just DONT build the headquarters DOWNTOWN. Traffic. Dallas suburb like McKinney or Plano or West, or better... expand the Domain location in Austin. Apple is doing it smart by expanding their north Austin location. NOT DOWNTOWN
Opposition, WHAT That can't be right the MSN says Everyone LOVES Bezos 😒
ArayAromaz No city is going to spend billions and give massive tax breaks to amazon just for a very small tax return on investment. Especially splitting up work force in two locations.
Amazon Bringing $30 bil in revenue...getting $3 bil back from NY...this is a deal we should take! That money can go towards infrastructure improvements. No money coming in...no money for improvements . This is simple .
lol let them pull out. AOC is doing so much right now for NY anyway... like, talking a lot... and Green plans she wrote in grade school thatd collapse the economy... so ya, good for NY'ers.. Detroit, you're up👍
Isn’t it weird when you own Amazon and the Washington Post to write a story about yourself?
amazon JeffBezos u a real one 💯
I hear a Foxconn site in WI is available.
Good.
Indianapolis... should have picked Midwest in the first place, not too late
I hope so.
Bye bye Amazon. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
Wait A blue state is rejecting y’all 🤔says something don’t ya think😂
Good. Power to the people.
do people even realize the banks are slowly moving jobs out of NYC to other states? we need another big employer in this area.
God will punish New York! Baby murderers.
I hope Amazon goes to Virginia or Tennessee. The latest rise in socialism is already shrinking the state revenues, but they don’t seem to care. Democrats
Just stay in Seattle and stop trying to extract (extort) concessions from state and local government
Isn't Amazon owned by a Demacrat? I thought only Republicans rip off their employees. If Amazon cared about their employees they would open their headquarters in a state with lower income tax rates.
Yeah, why say 'yes' to 25.000 jobs.
I thought locations submitted bids to be the location. How can you submit a we want you bid, winning the bid and then saying we don't want you. Sounds like allot of work not to have Amazon in your city. Next time don't fill out the application.
I would say well Atlanta still welcomes you but we have that illegitimateGovernor who idolizes 45. So I'm sure it wouldn't be a good fit. Try IndiaNapolis.
New York will be our Venezuela experiment. Along with California.
They can build it in Nixa Mo home of Jason bourne
It’s working.
I live in Atlanta and i don't want that coming here so please build build build the dang thing already in NY!!
Awe. Poor JeffBezos NOT REALLY. There were hundreds of cities willing to take him and he chose NYC lay down with dogs, get fleas
Good. amazon is bad for local economies, bad for workers and bad for New York State. JeffBezos is a multi-millionaire freeloader.
Who wants him put in Washington DC
Should have known better than selecting a business hostile environment. Head down South, where the weather is warm and the taxes are low.
Amazon is now reconsidering a headquarters in NY? NY prosecutors investigating Amazon owner's complaint? Coinsedences?
hell yes
Boy Donnie is going to go bananas 🍌😂
Good, make them pay for every penny of it from Bozos personal bank account. I hope they end up in West Virginia.
Good. New York's better of without those tax-cheating bullies.
Come to Las Vegas downtown
Good. Move it to Cleveland or Detroit that could use an economic boost and new job infusion.
Patriot_Girl_TX Unions suck. RightToWork
The politicians running New York are clowns. Starting with Cuomo and De Blasio! Their special interest are ruining the state. Causing crime, dysfunctional MTA, killing babies and more! Sad!
Amazon should take that mess to Dallas. They’ll think it’s great.
amazon should booty up its HQ2 at yourmom house.
SweetHomeChicago
Good.
May they find opposition everywhere they look 🌈
In this case, I hope the Amazon gets the chainsaw. Corporate rapists.
Hell yeah
GOOD! someone tell Bezos and his problematic lifestyle to gtfo
Well, if they pull out in time, they shouldn’t have to worry about that pesky abortion law...
Then come to Dallas, TX!!!
Should also reconsider NoVa DC....
People need jobs, damnit!
Yay?
amazon build in Brooklyn instead.
Come to Stamford
Good News! Go away, Amazon!
Amazon is sucking the blood out of Seattle. New York City and our communities don’t need this. See ya!
Man sternshow HowardStern all I can think about is cwotd when I see this news! shalomshuli you should almost embed yourself with Richard until this is rectified! I’m sure Howard and robertAbooey would agree.
Hopefully they bring Amazon in to minnesota like duluth or saint cloud if they dont do long island
Miami was a consideration at one point. No state or city taxes there. $25k isn't quite a living wage, but would help a lot of people who can't get into college stay off welfare.
Oh nvrmd. You are Amazon. Lol
No union in Amazon - please do a story from the current employee perspective of the workplace environment.
Lol
amazon Come to Miami, it's warm all year round, just don't make it where poor people will be dislocated, that's all that we ask.
amazon should build in areas that you can impact America the most! I live in VA, and they are complaining about the traffic and overcrowding you are going to cause. Bad choice here also!
Go to Austin!!!
Revitalize Detroit?
This is bad.
Don’t come to Texas - better off with your kind in New York.
Should’ve picked Miami, amazon.
Come to Detroit
They should move someplace that needs the business.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if Amazon moved there 2nd HQ to somewhere that actually needed it. Like the Dakotas or maybe Cheyenne Wyoming? That would really transform any of those states forever.
They bluffin
Maybe also move out of Seattle too? They’re making it hard to live here.
Good
Rust Belt America is crying out for Amazon to come to their communities. A Amazon to them means revitalization by bringing fresh minds and hands to grow their communities.
Great job AOC
Why not build it in Shoreline Wa. We are ready to Go!!!
Ray15981641 Come to Oregon, we love you. We need jobs. We will appreciate you. We don't care about nude photos, we understand that sexuality for all is an inalienable right. We're not stupid or backwards. The criminals are those who leaked this without permission, & the fake journalists.
Should also reconsider the Washington DC area HQ location.
Come to Dallas or Austin, amazon ... Y’all are welcome in our neck of the woods. Dallas has an affordable cost of living, great climate (hot summers but the rest of the year is great), major international airport in the middle of the country...excellent infrastructure.
I’m glad for the push back. As a former employee of amazon, I can attest to the inhumane conditions and unlivable waves provided my this company. I hope the communities continues to push back and stand firm.
Plenty of room in South Jersey near airports, trains, shipyards and major highways. PhillyBurbs
Good, now reconsider being in an area so freaking close to D.C.. To big companies: Stop adding congestion!! Consider putting your company out there. People will come. Dulles woulda been nice.
aka give us more tax and cash incentives
95% Amazon is 'Made in China' products Wal-Mart has made that shift to opt-in American made products finally MAGA🇺🇸 KAG 🇺🇸
Come on down to Tennessee.
oh no. please no. don’t do that. please don’t leave. absolutely no one would want that
Take it south to a state that desperately needs jobs.
Come to St. Louis!
Na na na na Na na na na Hey hey
Why not just adjust their proposal so they are good corporate citizens in New York instead of looking for a more vulnerable site? Does that really harm shareholder value
Come on down to NC!
Build it in Rockaway rework the whole area it’s needed it for decades
Great news
Chicago: Just come home already amazon 🤗
Noo plz i need my orders faster
Bring it to Chicago. We welcome you with open arms.
amazon across the river NJ is awaiting for you! You get access to same great talent!
Come to Charlotte JeffBezos amazon Plenty of room to grow here!
Texas would be the best for Amazon.
Elected with 12k votes in a one party district, AOC may have scotched at least 25k good jobs for New York.
And this again shows how out of touch NY is. 25,000 jobs and over $27 million to an area. Come to NC we would love that opportunity. NY to not add jobs and revenue to the state is the dumbest move.
😂
I Amazon skips NY. No need to support a state that murders babies
Who GAF
InnovateABQ
Not sure who NYCMayor NYGovCuomo and amazon JeffBezos thought they were kidding. Impossible to make a living in NY with one job that pays minimum wage, but ofc they'll NEVER know what that's like. That life might be a rich/wealthy person's worst nightmare 🙄
RepElaineLuria Wouldn’t the possibility of Amazon relocating to VA2 be great? Our district is thick with talent and the move presents great job prospects for an area heavily populated with Veterans.
Fuckin good 👌
Sweet! So long Amazon
Come to Pryor Oklahoma Google is here along with other giant Companies.
Can Amazon also reconsider moving to NOVA. In light of the Bezos scandal Virginia doesn't need another robber baron and we certainly do not need the traffic.
How about middle America rather than just the money solvent States or Make it affordable for States to compete equally. Can you please do something for Americans than always about profits? Flip side; kick National Enquirer caboose!
lolz. Bezos, hero of the people running to black face and rapey virginia. Ruuuuuuuun away from teh billionare taxes!
The opposition is doing a disservice to the community...they have no back up plan to bring economic growth to the community..LIC IS not on the list of most desirable place to live
No kidding. Activists chased them out of Seattle.
amazon JeffBezos of course NYC would be a bunch of chumps..ungrateful....come down South...preferably TN...I guarantee no issues
Bravo Amazon. We do not want to pay you to bring us bad jobs. Thank u, next.
Come to Florida. Im in the Tech Field I will love to work for amazon
Make it in Arizona and give me a job. I move back to my lovely city.
Don't come here,, then Andrew Dumo can clear up his 2 billion dollar shortfall give your kick back money back Andy and Bill
TanyaGrahamDVM He should buy Trumps golf course in NJ , bulldoze it & Voila!
They should come to Newark NJ!
Keep up the pressure, NY-14
Good luck gritting some other dumb pols, Jeff
Amazon JeffBezos Kansas City would be happy to have you! Not many liberal douche bags here!
patrigaff 💩
Apparently they have pictures or him in women's clothes, still searching for happiness I guess.
Bring it all to NOVA. amazon
I wish there would have been this kind of opposition here before they started to fuck up our city. seattlelost amazombies stopmovingtoseattle
Bluffing
Haha too bad Amazon already affected Seattle. Now every city should know. They don’t bring business to the locals only escalated Realestate & renter prices. They have their own cafe etc.
MoscoKnows This is a phenomenal idea
YES! YES! YES!
“Local opposition”? NOBODY wanted amazon here for tax funded helicopter pads, government write offs and causing even more local businesses to disappear. Rent is already to damn high for Amazon to be in the middle of nyc
As a New Yorker, I'm not sad.
They can locate wherever they want. Just no government subsidies and tax breaks to the big corporations.
They should just create their own city from scratch cause unless they plan on exclusively hiring people from the NY area instead of bringing their army of bros from the West coast, they can kindly fuk off
How about an amazon HQ in Camden, NJ? It's smack dab in the middle of the tri-state area with Philly directly across the Delaware River. It would be an opportunity to make a profound difference in a city that needs help & needs the chance to grow.
Well Amazon, there's always the Piedmont Triad NC. Come to the Gate City! Space in Greensboro or take over vacated space in Winston Salem
Let’s keep in in NY where it would be welcomed with open arms in buffalo_ny
YESSSSSSS NO ONE WANTS YOU HERE amazon (except maybe current investors and queens landlords)
I bet you they're not e on siderurgia because of the tax hikes recently announced! escapingsocialistnyc
Good .... they should get zerotax break ! They will have robots doing all the work soon enough .... JeffBezos is just greedy as you can get ... he might as well goto China
YES AmazonHQ2 needs to move to Albany or further upstate NYCisfull
Good! They should have chosen GA instead!
Good, this should be a good deal for the city/state and residents. Amazon shouldn't be getting all the upside
GOOD! You’re not welcome in NYC Amazon
Hey Amazon, in spite of anything Emporer Cuomo says, upstateNY is open for business! ☺
Finally a smart move… Don’t let ungrateful socialist benefit. Move your new Amazon operation to another state... let them be responsible for the loss of new jobs. AOCYouLose
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Can't come to NYC and be anti-union, hurt our immigrates by supporting ICE, and take affordable housing land. HQ2scam NoAmazonNYC
oldmanebro EBROINTHEAM HOT97 remember when y’all discussed this in December?
I say Dallas Plano area is the place!!!
Let NY sink, come to Stafford VA.
This is because all the new rich people moving in the new high rise apt bldgs in the area. Taking all the sunlight on the streets
Charlotte, NC
Nashville welcome's amazon with open arms
Why would they go to NYC when everyone else (with money) is leaving?
How the the fuck is not wanting to give away billions of tax dollars considered 'opposition'. Oh, you don't want to just hand me money? Why the opposition? I am sure NY would love the jobs. But Amazon has enough money to open a business without subsidies.
Put one Arkansas. You have room for growth (property wise), ready and available employees, and easy access for shipment to all 3 coast lines. But then again, I’m not entirely sure how the business operates either through truck travel, or aviation travel.
Should have put it in Chicago. It has a lot of people, isn’t as crowded as NYC or LA, have solid large airports, and is in a central location between a bunch of major cities. But nah, let’s just go where everyone else is
Cuomo and Deblasio overplayed their hands...we gave Walmart hell that's why you won't find one within city limits so why the hell would we want Amazon here.
Cleveland would welcome them!
charlimithinks Ashtabula, Ohio’s City Manager will talk to them.
Michigan please.
prisonculture Go to hell
Amazon in nyc is a great idea. For such a large company they guve their employees alot
Democrats screw up everything they touch.
Come to Dallas. There is plans fo a 78 story building that could have Amazon's name on it. OK, make it so.
Way to promote jobs in your district AOC!
Good don't come here. Why should we give you the tax breaks you have more money than GOD.
New York hates all corporations unless they are corporations puppeting them
Bring your headquarters to Texas Amazon! We got hard working Texans here that will not complain and get the job done!
Well that’s good news!
jav1ts
Hope they stay !
If AOC and other I local community leaders in New York oppose amazon’s move, Atlanta would welcome Amazon as a community partner.
Bye!!!
And they should reconsider. A company like Amazon or any company infact would be stupid to invest in a state that is quickly becoming socialist.
I think what's saddest about these comments is the fact that there are people practically begging Amazon to come to their town. Places that really need it. Problem is, they were never going to move to these places, they only used the bait to get NYC to give them the world.
Rochester NY welcomes Amazon HQ.
Just build your own city, damn you're Amazon.
Corporations have feelings?
Don’t come to Georgia!
Come to Miami. We need it!
I hear there's a small town in Colorado that would welcome Amazon with open arms.
Good
Taxes more by DeBlazio... hahahahaha
New York City residents don't need or want Amazon, NYC is already over-populated along with outrageous rents and home prices.
Why don’t they take the world trade buildings which have plenty of space!!!
Awesome. Good riddance! noAmazonNYC I hope you’re listening, JeffBezos!
It is quite interesting how politicians believe that if they retaliate towards a company, that company will decide to leave. Kind of a bummer for people potentially expecting those jobs to exist next year that are now being threatened.
The should be encouraged to remain in NY state. They can move to perhaps Nassau County. They do not have to open in the NYC.
Is it a good or bad thing? On the one hand, the project can potentially create 50,000 new jobs. On the other hand, NY has offered a $1.85 billion subsidy to one of America's richest companies...
good
Good.
Loll
How about to a city that actually needs this? NYC is congested already. Damn.. Cities like Detroit were practically begging to be chosen for this
Well, there goes my $150K+ job...
Bye
How about, I don’t know....Detroit !
It makes zero sense for NYC to get something like this. Go to a place with economic problems. Actually generally help real people out.
LombardTrucking GovNedLamont Hartford? Whaleofagoodtime
Ha, all that hubbub to find out they're not wanted.
Imagine selecting NY from thousanda of cities that submitted to be chosen only for them reject you.
JoeBudden power to the ppl.
Tell them to come to St. Louis
Our thoughts and prayers are with Amazon through this difficult time. Maybe this will cause an already inflated condo prices and rents to come back to normal.
Come on down to South Florida
Liberals n socialists to blame.
Don’t want you here , bye
Bezos is reporting on himself... again...
I thought we were off the hook here in Austin. Now I'm nervous again.
Virginia
Yes JeffBezos thanks for the WaPo but please don’t come to queens
💃🏼💃🏼💃🏽💃🏽💃🏾💃🏾💃🏿💃🏿
Guess NY pols want New Yorkers to remain poor
There is plenty of space on LongIsland
Good.
In NYC we recognize a bluff when we see it
I NEED THIS!!!
Stay away from Boston, too, K?
make it in CT
Pittsburghhhhhh
Awesome.
Nothing like turning jobs away.
Go to a smaller city that way you can offer more jobs and expand smaller cities
Toronto doesn’t want you either.
Come to Philadelphia. We can use those jobs here. We won’t complain about them. cityofphilly PennsylvaniaGov
Flint Michigan amazon wouldbe a great place.
Doubt there's opposition to Amazon in New York, only opposition to handouts to the richest corporation on earth.
Queens better not let them move in.
Move to flint michigan and help rebuild their crumbling infrastructure, give people jobs
And they should move from this state-city as they are clearly not wanted...come to NC, we are great people!
nautolans Good!
Just stay out of the A.
NewYorkxit! (same plan B as Brexiteers I guess... ?)
I have a hard time believing the community pitchforks will scare off Amazon, but maybe. Perhaps this is more of a 'the permits are taking too long & another city will sell more of their community's soul' scenario. Interesting to see how it will all play out.
fud31 It won’t be long before NYC becomes as bad as NYS for job creation. Incompetent politicians are ruining a once great city.
A nice place would be, between Rochester and Syracuse. We would welcome you with open arms.
Nice now do Northern Virginia
If anyone thinks Amazon’s decision to locate elsewhere has anything other than the minimum wage hike they are blind. Minimum wage hike is a job killer and in this case it killed 25k jobs for LI.
Hey BrownsvilleRGV heres you’re chance
Hell yeah! We would rather have no job then a decent paying one! It's okay, I'm gonna give money to ask that refuse to work anyway! Green deal all day!
Move it to Virginia Beach
Come to Raleigh North Carolina
I love how the Washington Post gets these insider stories.. it’s almost as if the guy who owns Amazon also owns... oh wait.
Good. They shouldn't be leeching off the tax payer with this corporate welfare.
Good
Well, JeffBezos slave driver isn’t welcome in MoCoMD, either; forcing people to work without breaks, violating OSHA, safety codes, denying valid Workers Comp claims... Loser AHQ2 nycamazon AOC
Good, in light of their abortion decision..no one should do business there!
EpicFail to my beloved NYC - what a shame that would be and many other cities would love to be selected. Wow...just wow. Disappointing.
Bye 🙋🏻♀️
Existing & new jobs (I.e. tech) are too centrally located in CA, TX, & N.Y./DC. Raising real estate costs & population in already crowded areas. Many have had to leave the Midwest & move to these areas for jobs. Execs thumb noses to Midwest-IL/MI etc many here qualify for jobs
.sapplebaum RWDSU Response:
YES! Yes, do that! Go somewhere else!!
amazon JeffBezos bring those great jobs south to NORTH CAROLINA- welcome with open arms - nonunion freestate capitalism
Cuomo to Bezos with our tax money while the MTA forever sucks:
People were aware that this was going to be a headquarters and not a warehouse right?
The Washington Post reporting on Amazon 🤔
Hopefully this time not to another overpopulated city that doesn’t need them but hey I can dream.
Bezos reports bezos’ thought. Surprising
Maybe high taxes (and Cuomo) has something to do with it? 🤔
Good! Come to FL, everyone else is moving here from those high tax states!
ATL
25k jobs with average of 125k per year would generate 3 billion dollars per year all going back into the city. Seems like it would be a great deal for any city. You could even put in a clause that guarantees the number of jobs at a minimum amount.
Come on down to Northern Va.
Bring the headquarters to Lancaster, Pennsylvania!
JeffBezos GOOD
Amazon , DONT LEAVE NYC
Amazon should stay in nyc . People are making stupid criticism with no base reasons . Even if amazon Doesnt come to nyc , rent will go up no matter what . People shouldn’t complain about crowded trains and buses ( this happens already )
All those Goverment employees in the DMV would welcome you expanding your footprint here
Bring both headquarters to Virginia! We have room! The more the merrier.😆
Put it in Newark. It was in the finals already, and offers a skilled, educated workforce, fantastic transportation options, and lots of inexpensive, vacant spaces. Amazon JeffBezos
Good.
Call me crazy but he owns this paper right? Come people, he’s not stupid. wakeup
Why not Detroit? cavsdan
Deuces!
Good, they never should have gone there in the first place
Yeah, chase those jobs out of NYC, libs, and then don’t forget to wail about too few job opportunities. 👍🏻
Democrats always killing jobs as always
More fallout from the whole Pecker vs pecker debacle.
amazon Hmmm you would think you should go to a community that’s crying for help like Flint Michigan. Oh yeah no tax breaks🧐 noamazonnyc
Bring it to Tennessee
Cleveland
Go to Florida or Texas runaway from Dems states
Come over to New Jersey
Jeff going to take his ball and go? Where oh where can a billionaire go in these days of shared social media outrage? with that pretend bully ‘tycoon’ in the Whitehouse making greed look bad & that Israeli bully tyrant making colonial imperialism look evil. Venezuela?
SMH
.aoc wants to give everyone $$ even if they’re unwilling to work. So who cares?
I’m sure if you came to Warren or Niles or Youngstown Ohio we would love to have you. Actually we have a large space available because GM is closing the plant down and those workers need jobs!
aoc’s mantra “no new jobs! No new jobs!”
What is wrong with you people ? Amazon is taking over regardless and you stand to be the only city to majorly benefit.
Come to Dallas please!
This facility needs to go into a city that really needs jobs and economic development, like Baltimore.
Both areas are ungrateful! Nashville, TN would have treated Amazon like a Royalty company!
Good, they don’t offer good enough wages to merit that location. Their employees would still need at least two jobs. Let them take what they would have offered there and set up where living expenses are lower and jobs more scarce so they’ll actually be a positive addition.
GOOD!!!
Only good about L.I City is you can see the Manhattan skyline.
Bring it to NOLA
Bring your ass down here!
Come to St Louis
lookner It was a beyond stupid idea to begin with. They better shake and bake or we all might reconsider brick and mortar stores. I often find myself inconvenienced instead of the opposite using their service. I do like the Amazon Prime TV though... Beats Netflix hands down.
Don't even think about Boston. Stay away.
Should have choose Pittsburgh from the beginning! We'll still have you though! Right billpeduto ? PittsburghProud
Oh thank goodness! Housing prices & traffic congestion is bad enough around here. Surely these jobs could benefit areas where there are fewer opportunities.
Atlanta🍑
Noo! I want a local facility. This would be amazing. Wtf is wrong with people?
Agree with Amazon, it isn't the best place for them really. Take it from a former NY person it will cause too much havoc for the company and area. Find a new spot it will be good for Amazon and all.
Good.
I hope not it’s a good deal for the area but don’t let a few loud extremists destroy a good plan - like what’s happening to our country.
Pick Houston! Would be very welcome here
Yaaay ByeFelicia
To the politicians and unions that always claim to be a champion of workers and the labor force...Nice work...your “Go Union or you’re not welcome here” is about to cost NYC 25,000 jobs.
Good cause NYers really didn’t want you there.

It’s called leverage....if you want all of those jobs and tax revenue, subsidies is what it takes. It’s like bidding on a free agent. Amazon can go anywhere they want because of what they bring to a states economy.
Great job AOC you just lost high paying jobs for your constituents
WBJonline Only NY would flush an opportunity like this down the drain.
UrbanistOrg People power!!
Across the st just go to CT
Good
Need to stop Amazon before they become like that monster in V for Vendetta. Outside of Apple the rest of the tech scoundrels influence a whole deal of our lives & the information we receive.
Walmart tried it too, we were having none of it.
Same game the sports industry plays: 'threatening to pick up and move' “non-threat threat”- .neildemause .fieldofschemes
Scott Walker just volunteered Wisconsin out of habit.
The truth is a project labor agreement (PLA) on the Amazon HQ2 would eliminate close to 97.8% of VA's contruction workforce, because they do not belong to a construction union. What's a PLA, really? Everything NoPLAs rookies need to know:

NYGovCuomo can’t even get crony deals to work
Good. Austin, Texas will gladly take Amazon.
I would like to accept the thanks of the public for defeating Amazon with my insightful historical critique of public subsidies.
They have a long way to go. The state wants tgem to use u union contractors and union employess
We always pull out.
subway challenges alone are worth getting some kind of tax from Amazon but Bezos is notorious for not setting up shop anywhere it would pay taxes-Borough people were excluded by DeBlasio and Cuomo-bad move on their part
Michael_Khouw I’m calling shenanigans. I think Bezos plans to buy the apt next to David Pecker.
Opposition are idiots. That was the opportunity to earn NYC is lot of money
Thought the choice of Baltimore was a good one. I bet that area would welcome Amazon with open arms
So head to CT - New London has harbor & easy access to 95
Apparently Mr. Bezos has a good understanding of fairness when it comes to matters of his personal sexual privacy but not in regard to others' right to fair wages.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
in the paper bezos owns!
This is so crazy 😜 on the part of AOC and her groupies. That’s 25,000 employees and then the other jobs as a result.
Time to step it up, DC
That means Mrs. Bezos gets the house near NYC
Come to my state.
Isn’t owned by bezos?
good
Much to RepYvetteClarke's chagrin
Stay outta Riverdale
Good! We don't need Amazon or want it!
You are always welcome to New Jersey
Local provincialism. Narrow minded.
JimAndrews518 Good. I don't need my local taxes increasing to give 'person of means' JeffBezos a handout.
jbouie Praise be to G-d! We do not want you here, Amazon.
Come to Nova Scotia, Canada!
Toronto was always the best candidate. It’s in a country where you don’t have to worry about whether educated immigrants will someday be denied entry due to the whim of a President.
With this and Peckergate Bezos may vote all red in 2020.
good. fuck amazon
I love it... clicked on the link to read the article and you ask me for money. NOPE.
Amazon needs NYC, NYC does not need Amazon
Great, bye 👋
Why would any business go to NY? As well, there should be legislation that would stop these giveaways to corps to relocate. That’s just crazy.
GOOD the city can spend some of that fucking money fixing whats already broken instead of displacing a shit ton of Queens residents so Amazon can park their fat capitalist ass and start underpaying people while pricing them out of their homes
Excellent news!!!
Good. They should go somewhere else and stop expecting government handouts.
Spearheaded by Ocasio. Its not like jobs are needed in NYC, theyre at full employment.
lols '25000 jobs'.
Lets ramp the pressure up in the DMV.
Thank u nextttttttt
bezos whips it out again
Imagine if JeffBezos forfeited the $3bn tax break in exchange for NYGovCuomo pledge to use it to fix our broken subway. Win-win-win. Win for employees who’ll commute, win for New Yorkers, win for amazon. That’s CSR.
Amazon still waiting for response to my “citizen’s proposal” suggesting Gaylord Michigan as location,drawing on its central Tip of the Mitt location to utilize resources from all the Great Lakes coastal cities within a 75 mile/max 90 minute commute. Think out of the Metro box!
heard there's available real estate in hell
Good
thenning22 SamWow26 kesunlly that Giants fan that kept saying the N word is prob so salty rn
notbostonnotbostonnotbostonnotbostonnotboston
is Nancy Pelosi going to take credit for this too?
Amazon Cuomo right now:
Hell yeah, stay out
This is good shit
Hopefully this will not prove to be an effort to squeeze Cuomo for more cash.
HLKWAGH 👀
Terrible Taxes, Trashed Transportation, No gas pipelines energy shortage, Schumer repeats Temper tantrum, temper tantrum as the Exodus goes on, and Cuomo enhances abortion making sure the population is not replaced. Is Bezos saying thank god for the opposition, I have a way out.
Good. Come to NJ where you’ll be appreciated.
Good
HelloAtlanta
jbouie
Badass
Bye, Felicia.
NY has enough going on. Leave and go where people need it and would appreciate your company.
Is there ANYTHING we can do in VA, roshabra HownowKnowhow etc.? An embattled governor signed the bill secretly while clearly under duress...any way to challenge that?
The city of... ATLANTA!
Good, and stay out. Build your HQ at the bottom of the ocean and send all the yuppie Silicon Valley bros there with it.
Good please leave
local opposition to Amazon = fools
Atlanta and Indy be like...
go to Flint and solve about 10 things with one move. Just pay me in razorblades...
Wahhh NYC doesn’t like us and doesn’t want to fork over billions of dollars to the largest company in the world. Boo hoo wah wahhh 👼😪😪
I hear hell is nice. amazon should be able to get some good concessions from Satan I think. If I remember correctly, the devil likes making deals with people.
Stay away from South Florida! Not only do we have more than enough people . But they need to make more than 20k yr ...
The governor needs the REVENUE for all of the illegals!! You can't do that.
amazon and JeffBezos are thieves! Charged full amount and dont send stuffs!! They are involved in those actions with partner companies as throwbackalley cheaters Scotus
⬛
Good. Don’t go where you are not wanted.
No business should ever want to come to NY State. I say that as a citizen of the state. Cuomo and the Dems that run the state do everything they can to discourage businesses and individuals to come and/or stay here. Last one out, turn off the lights...
lol sick
Should’ve picked ColumbusGov. We midwesterners wanted you guys here!
Chicago
We are all going to get paid if we are unwilling to work so why would we want Amazon jobs. We need more hipster bars and coffee shops.
JeffBezos Charleston SC would be great place for an HQ I’m sure you could get a killer tax break deal
Newark NJ is still open!
This will probably go on hold, because Jeff Bezos will now have to shell out billions for his divorce and once those nude pictures are published, that will be the end of Bezos.
Do it. And zero tax break should be given at the new location
We already have a housing crisis. We don’t want them bringing the problems they gave Seattle
I hope they show some social responsibility and shift it to mid west where people have been struggling for decades due to closing down of manufacturing plants.
Come to PITTSBURGH
Give NY a break, “Come home to SW Washington State!”
Chicago is still available
Back to Mexico putos. We kinda needs the HQ 😂
smart locals
Hell yeah this is Very Good.
Stay out of Columbus. Thanks
