mikesisak joshboak When can NY “walk away” from NYC?
mikesisak joshboak
mikesisak joshboak they should run out of NY....it has turned into a cesspool for politicians power
mikesisak joshboak Really? google expanded in NYC with no billion dollars of incentives. I think the solution is this: negotiate in good faith with local constituents. Don't go behind their backs negotiating with NYGovCuomo & BilldeBlasio. And why did nyc give 2x what arlington committed?
mikesisak joshboak Nope!
mikesisak joshboak good
mikesisak joshboak AOC you really do have a negative IQ, don't you?
mikesisak joshboak Or maybe other companies just don’t like to open headquarters in disgusting shit hole cities either.
mikesisak joshboak crystalcityva AlexandriaVA will regret to agreeing to amazon moving there too. Unless you already own a home, the rental and housing market prices will be through the roof and all while the city gives them a huge tax break while they make billions. Just a disgrace.
EastRegion mikesisak joshboak Hello their tax break is ludicrous and no wonder average americans are angry. On top of that break it will drive housing rental and real estate through the roof. How will be middle class afford to live there?
mikesisak joshboak Glad that NY was brave enough to not give away a blank check to Amazon in exchange for hit or miss returns that aren't accurately measured in the first place. All city's should follow & should only give rebate incentives after benefits of their presence is realized, none upfront.
mikesisak joshboak Good. Fuck NY.
mikesisak joshboak The article offers no real evidence to support it’s title.
mikesisak joshboak no it won't.
mikesisak joshboak New York has great things to offer any company starting with the people of New York. Let companies come to New York with the living wage jobs.
mikesisak joshboak Big companies crowd out small ones. But needs still exist. Let the smaller companies and startups answer those needs.
mikesisak joshboak If local citizens and businesses are forced to move due to increased rents, whats in it for them. Why support the deal?
mikesisak joshboak They dodged a bullet, good upon NYC. 5 billion free ride for 25K jobs ain't a great deal.
mikesisak joshboak Good. A centralized financial capital is never healthy for a country’s economy.
mikesisak joshboak Whatever

mikesisak joshboak A mixed-economy is part gov power and part free-markets. The Amz deal with NYC was not free-market. Don’t blame this on Capitalism. With a separation of gov and economics, there would be no subsidy to hand out. Change the Constitution!
mikesisak joshboak Jobless people vote for democrats. Good for them.
mikesisak joshboak No kidding!
mikesisak joshboak Socialism, Baby!
mikesisak joshboak Leftists don’t want people to have good jobs. They want them on generational welfare. Easier to control and get votes that way.
mikesisak joshboak TURN THE STATE AND CITY RED!! THESE AHOLE WANTED KICK BACKS AND SCEWED WORKING NEW YORKERS WHILE THEY GET 2% RAISE WITH BUDGET BILL THAT WAS JUST PASSED!!
mikesisak joshboak Good
mikesisak joshboak It's a stretch I know but I can't help thinking this is Bezos' way of getting back at Trump by denying the city whatever economic advantage to being there....
mikesisak joshboak 'Could.'
mikesisak joshboak Let’s fix this statement..,”could scare off other PREDATORY tech companies.” It shouldn’t scare off any company paying livable wages or seeking tax-free incentives when they’re raking in billions in profits annually.
mikesisak joshboak corporategreed corporatewelfare
mikesisak joshboak Doing business in NYC is like walking thorough a mine field
mikesisak joshboak Oh, please. What would scare off tech companies (or any kind of company) are high office rents and the inability to attract employees because of high costs of living--caused by high rents. Which an Amazon in NYC would exacerbate.
mikesisak joshboak Probably was best as two overrated things coexisting wouldn’t be a positive.
mikesisak joshboak Amazon jilted New York City on Valentine’s Day, scrapping plans to build a massive headquarters campus in Queens amid fierce opposition from politicians angry about nearly $3 billion in tax breaks and the company’s anti-union stance.
mikesisak joshboak Gosh, how will New York City ever survive
mikesisak joshboak Meanwhile, in just about in very Chinese city....
mikesisak joshboak Why's that ?
mikesisak joshboak I’d add San Francisco should start playing hard ball with tech companies too. They pinned themselves into a certain type of city and there’s no reason to be nice.
mikesisak joshboak Manhattan is already a haven for billionaires and a shining example for how to do inequality. Tech companies don't need to make it worse (see: San Fransisco)
mikesisak joshboak This is the dick pick guy, amirite
mikesisak joshboak Free market at work. Reduce corporate taxes and restrictions, heck reduce/eliminate all corporate taxes and restrictions and let the states grow! Thank God for states rights otherwise, New York policy equals US policy. GA is corporation friendly amazon
mikesisak joshboak Hopefully it scares off these corporate welfare schemes from ALL types of companies and that New York City reinvests that money back into its communities. AmazonHQ2 NewYork
mikesisak joshboak Stop asking for a free ride
mikesisak joshboak What a monumental screw up to let Amazon get away. This will be one for the books.
mikesisak joshboak Good
mikesisak joshboak 25,000 good paying jobs vs 0, $3b in tax credits vs $0 in taxes. How is this math difficult?
mikesisak joshboak Local gov giveaways to lure wealthy corporations to locate in a community is corporate welfare and a violation of the fiduciary duty of local politicians to work in the interest of their constituents, not their wealthy donors.
mikesisak joshboak Just the ones expecting to live on corporate welfare. They arent needed anyway
mikesisak joshboak GOOD. AP: We don’t understand things but at least we don’t report valuable stories.
mikesisak joshboak Hopefully other tech companies aren’t greedy fucks. Yes, when the owner of the company is among the richest men in the work wanting a few billion bucks in tax breaks is being fucking greedy. NY stood up to corporate welfare. Good for them.
mikesisak joshboak AOC be like: Keep the plebs reliant on government.
mikesisak joshboak New York already has tech jobs so...
mikesisak joshboak politicians with your money, when the richest guy in the world cancels his warehouse of $9 an hour jobs. AMAZON CorporateWelfare
mikesisak joshboak Hah NYC can kiss those 25000 jobs and 27B in revenue goodbye. How stupid can one politician be?
mikesisak joshboak I hope the radical politicians of New York will realize the mistake they created. AOC needs to take a basic economy course ASAP.
mikesisak joshboak Cuz if left leaning Amazon can’t make it there, then no one can.
mikesisak joshboak Cool. Don’t give in and try a smaller city that needs the help.
mikesisak joshboak Smart
mikesisak joshboak Jeff Bezos is treating New York like the National Enquirer!
mikesisak joshboak Come to OverlandPark right outside of KansasCity We have plenty of room and plenty of parking. And wait until you see the rent. It's nowhere near what it is on the coast. And groceries are affordable. 😁 We have tech talent & good schools. Come visit!
mikesisak joshboak foregoing one of the largest and well qualified labor pools because you can’t extract an extra helipad in concessions from the city government sounds...a little incredulous tbh
mikesisak joshboak they should be so lucky
mikesisak joshboak Good. NYC has plenty of money. Just share all of it and watch yourselves become the greatest state in the world. We'll follow your lead, once we see how well off you are in 50 years.
mikesisak joshboak Smart move Amazon. Ny is a mess!
mikesisak joshboak That's the WRONG TAKE. 'Amazon's exit from New York shows that New York's government should not automatically submit to capitalist giants who demand unrealistic tribute.'
mikesisak joshboak Only if they demand huge tax cuts. Not sure why that is difficult for idiotic 'journalists' to understand.
mikesisak joshboak The establishment is triggered lol!!!!! AOC BABY!!!
mikesisak joshboak Socialism doesn't pay.
mikesisak joshboak Good.
