Gap Inc and other companies should take notes and learn a thing or two about how to do business, and make it grow successfully.
Just glad they didn’t pick Denver!
YUCH, WHAT POOR CHOICES.. LIKE DC AND NYC NEED MORE CORPORATE HDQTS... BEZOS FLOPPED ON THIS DECISION.. OTHER PARTS OF NATION MORE IN NEED... E COMMERCE NEEDS NO SPECIAL LOCATION..
Race to the bottom with a prisoner's dilemma mixed in for good measure.
note that by being in NYC state.. the decision includes the knowledge of the cost ion taxes.. wages paid will have state taxes deducted and the GOP hate that.. they want to end 'deductions at source' so that they can cut taxes further and bankrupt the treasury for bin laden.
too bad for the dumb white men.. they made their choices when they decided to not support their local schools. and then the kids didnt take to computers.. or to indoor plumbing.. many red states still preach the use of an outhouse.. its their way 2 not learn science or plumbing
but now their decision has cost their own .. people.. wages.. wages that will never come back.. because the tech types need some form of intelligence.. bodies are not just to be used to push paper any more.. no science no jobs.. red states learn in real time..
and the red states' educational cuts.. well the wages are so low in most red states that even if the kids made the grade and left school they could not make enough to buy computers and learn about them outside of heir red state HSchools.. they cut the education to cut taxes
CNBC reporting.. 'amazon could not find a enough tech savy types in other locations'// that makes sense.. Red states have cut their HS budgets and they dont preach science.. they preach the bible.. bible has no science inside of it.. no mention of how to end an infection. none
GOP red states had no chance.. word is that JB was never going to allow the GOP Govs to be winner.. not while the same uneducated GOP cut the education f their low brow states.. // amazon cant afford to waste time with red states.. or their lowly educated labour units.
I could get mad that they didn't choose Atlanta, but we didn't need it the most. Poorer cities full of qualified people could have really benefitted and even flourished with new business. Don't count on job creators to rebuild a community- they don't care.
Northern Va traffic is already a nightmare sigh...
so 2 places? sounds suspicious as if he thinks they are capitals in the next civil war. i dont trust people with that much money
Yet again,people from upstate N.Y. will pay the way for Cuomo and downstate to reap all the benefits while we pay it again. Roads and infrastructure with benefit while we are forced to make the repairs from potholes and zero job growth. Subway with a new stop too. $billions to do
Enjoy watching your housing prices sky rocket even more.
I will NEVER buy anything from Jeff Bezo's company again or give him and Amazon another penny. I loathe his business model and hope he winds up bankrupt for how he treats his employees
The two most expensive places to do business. What idiots!
Jeff sticking it to Trump. Hahahha welcome back to Manhattan
What a cop-out.
Amazon is the best!
Is that what jeffbezos heart desided on?
Wouldn’t a split in headquarters be a good idea? I’m not about to open a can of worms, but the monolith that was the “world’s trade center,” is indeed a message that we are the center of the world. We all love the big Apple, but only if everyone legitimately gets a bite.
Good. Those states can make money from taxing them.
Could've revamped West Virginia or some place else needing a needing a boost, why in such a congested area already brimming with buisness.
Seems like legit areas to store and sell customer data. Should work out well for them.
What a shame I was hoping a Midwest city would get an offer since this part of our country is still hurting. Instead NYC and northern Virginia get the call. It must be the cheap real estate.
If I was a liberal, that’s exactly where I’d go too
aravosis Any city that thinks it’s a good idea to offer taxpayer funded incentives to major companies, is a city that has sold out its residents for absolutely nothing in return.
Glad California didn't get any of this - have fun!
Like anyone thought this would end up any different? I am not psychic nor clairvoyant but I saw this from a mile away....I guess it was the smell of urine and homelessness that made these cities seem like a natural fit.
Hmm guess I'm not shopping Amazon anymore since couldn't find a state that needs jobs. Guess that's how it goes
Amazon Fulfillment Center worker:
To the cities that lost this bid, blessing in disguise. Yeah, it would've brought more jobs but higher housing costs comes with that. DC and NY already have those issues along with traffic. And Amazon is not employee friendly for entry and mid level jobs
Why can’t he pick an area that really needs it
There goes the housing prices. While sellers and rental owners will rejoice. Buyers and renters will get the shaft.
Way to think outside the box
You Rock New York!!
Wall Street and The Swamp.
North Haverbrook was so close.
Why is this important?
And your employees have to be paid more to live in these places...didn’t he take away bonuses from the employees in the hubs?
So Northern Virginia moves from the richest area in the US to the.. what's greater than richest?
Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor
Was there ever a doubt Amazon would not pick New York? C'mon!
As of 3:02 pm est today, 'Qanon' is now the 2 most attacked entity behind POTUS within the U.S Q
Was always going to happen
No Wonder Trump Calls Them The Enemy of the People.
Why not Detroit? Or some other city that could defiantly use such a huge economic boost/employment? You chose NYC and Virgina? Yes—bc NY needs more big corporate entities 🤔🙄 AmazonHQ2
New york.... wow... asset management is goin to have their hands full... Stock holders u no this the most expensive state to do business in besides Hawaii. ..
That’s insane. Midwest would have been better choice than Virginia. amazon JeffBezos
Good for them. Sure would not want near where I live or where I would want to live.
Best access to lobby and pay off politicians. Smart move.....🙄
Really
Lots of liberals to choose from for employees.
Thank you! NIMBY
Interested to see the tax breaks they get...
The Emperor has no clothes. Still.
interesting
😟😟
Philadelphia could have used those jobs:(
Thank god
🖕🖕🖕 Amazon
The DC Beltway is already an 8 lane death trap build upon a sand foundation that shifts and causes terrible tears and potholes. Add 50k jobs to the commute. Hows the traffic in Queens lately? So, yes, my main concern is infrastructure, will Amazon contribute?
Shit I thought Toronto actually had a chance eh JustinTrudeau MayorJohnTO
Two places with struggling economies as well as real estate prices. Thanks, Jeff! Oh, wait $AMZN
Society is lacking authenticity, should've picked Manaus, a city actually on the Amazon. .
Great news for Crystal City, it is by metro, airport, DMV has highest educated population and this is great news for all DMV
Interesting..
Your going to regret it in 10 years believe me.
...works a room...
Love the convenience of Amazon but Bezos is a total BS person, imo.
Me watching the hope of ever owning a home here fade away
Center of govt and center of commerce. Plus access to best talent.
ChicagosMayor how’s that feel 🔥🔥 burns I’m sure.. 😂🤣😂🤣
Amazon JeffBezos JeffBezos
And KCMO did nothing to entertain
Nice sham of a “search”, an intelligence gathering session coupled with a Chamber of commerce Wilky Wonka golden ticket contest. Shame on amazon .
North Viginia You mean DC New York You mean New York city NYC and DC how quaint
Sucker born every minute.
RIP NYC
Jeff bezos is a cop
profgalloway nailed it.
Two cities that will be underwater when the ocean sea level rises.
Would’ve been nice to see Cle get it, but that was a pipe dream anyway.
NEW YORK CITY , Baby ! Here come the jobs !
You picked Long Island City? 😂😂😂 I’m glad Philly didn’t win.
Liberal
hhhiiiiiImFrank you getting out just in time
L
not if queens has anything to say about it JimmyVanBramer and SenGianaris got our back!
🙄🙄
Cool. Kiss your current commute times goodbye, folks.
SIGH JeffBezos
Bezos looks more and more like a penis everyday
G you’re only a week behind with that story

Suck it CHICAGO
Congrats....?
