[UPDATE 11.13] Amazon chooses Queens, NY & Arlington Virginia as its 2nd headquarters

I knew you chimed in

Funny being that dc has more rats than nyc...they said ya been numero uno for past 2-3 yrs

Guess that's where ya mumbo sauce come from

All the construction and warm winters have helped the little fuckers. Add to it more trash that accumulates with the population. It's a fucking buffet for them. We get snow on Friday. I hope it's a cruel and brutal winter.
 
Didn't say that either. But, The area don't need Amazon. The area and people are doing fine. And the people who actually do need the work won't be the demographic hired to work in the Crystal City location.
I’m glad you can speak for the people on the area.

There’s no such thing as a “demographic” for a job. There are qualifications. If you know what kind of jobs are coming, it would help to try to get qualified. Out of the jobs coming to the area, there will be more that someone currently living there can get, than there are currently. In other words, Amazon makkng more money for someone qualified for the job than you are. While you sit around speaking for people you never met, nor plan to do anything for.
 
The statistics speak for themselves moron.

Spoken like someone who has never employed a soul. Stfu.

And i commented.. So what bitch?
Yes , the statistics do. Amazon has employed way more people than you or me. Regardless of what dumbass assumptions you can make about who I have or haven't employed, it's a damn safe bet that you haven't employed as many Black people anywhere on the planet as Amazon. So I commented on your dumbass comment.
 
I'm watchin the news right now, and these mutha phuckaz are already complaining about the housin market and traffic. Mannn, i wish i would bought one of those condos in Pentagon city when i was stationed at the Pentagon.

If you found the comments dumb then your issue is with facts and not me. Every thing I said was based in truth and first hand perspective. Meanwhile you're just responding to do the objectionable asshole routine you've made your shtick.
 
Would like to see a study of what the true benefit is of having these job creators set up shop in your city while being given huge tax breaks....something unbiased which will be damn near impossible

These jokers basically played everybody....had folks talking about they want low traffic and low COL...all along this dangerous, dominating massive company simply wanted to go where the movers and shakers are....the political and financial capitals of the country....makes sense when you really think about it....if you were looking to dominate the world those are the 2 anybody would choose

I'm responding to your "I care more " schtick. You're not the only one though. Y'all just hate it when I call it out. Amazon is a.company that makes money. They pay people money that pays bills. All of a sudden, just because they're moving into an area WITH JOBS, your schtick is to smoehow make that evil. And you get to play the hero just because you talk about caring, and have the nerve to speak for people onna place you don't live lol. While you talk, somebody is gonna get A job. I'd rather talk about how someone living there can prepare themselves to get some work.

I didn't say or imply they were evil. I merely addressed some of the current concerns of locals and commented on how Amazon would effect those set of issues.

It was just a reaction and observation post.

Cool I respect tbat.
From what I understand , there is some language concerning jobs for some people who currently live there. I'm currently looking for it as well. Ultimately though, it does rest on whoever wants the jobs offered to get qualified for them, no matter where they are. Nothing is guaranteed for anyone. Someone making an idea and developing it into a company for others to come and get some money with them or for them- is the best way I know how to make.a group of people in poor. No one's gonna give anyone anything no matter what has happened on the past. I don't wanna give anyone that impression of anything different.
 
A few years ago, I stayed at a Holiday Inn in Long Island City off of Beebe Ave and took the train to Manhattan. LIC was a cool, spot with untapped potential. But that commute to Midtown was hell. It was crowded as fuck w/o Amazon. Can't imagine how bad things will get with them.
 
They ONE thing both Cuomo and DeBlasio agreed on...

SCREWING NEW YORK CITY!!!

Spending all this time and money worrying about AMAZON and shit.
Where in the same week, we had a snowstorm PARALYZE this city to a standstill.
A snowstorm that basically exposed our crumbling, weak-ASS infrastructure.
And these idiots act like sucking AMAZON's dick is a win.

Yeah.
Well at least Jeff Bezos is going to have one million sq. feet, over 2 billion in incentives, and a heli-pad.
 
?????

Maybe cause I'm a longtime Georgian/Atlantan who follows the process and knows two Georgia Representatives?
ok--- so since you're making this claim based off what YOU seem to know, can you present the actual evidence, or are we supposed to believe you because you "know two representatives"?

What does that even mean?
 
It means it's a beautiful Sunday morning on the West side, the best side, and I ain't going back and forth with you on this. Now take your parting shot and find someone else in a bad enough mood to argue with at 8:15 Sunday morning.

It is a beautiful morning. And you don't like having to explain shit you just blurt out and expect people to believe lol. So we're back to "we don't know" and that's perfectly fine.

I thought you were gonna actually tell us something. Damn
 
Nothing wrong with a city wanting to bring a good company there. They failed. So what?
Atlanta did shot their selves in the foot (Republicans had the gun). The week Amazon was visiting Atlanta those fools pulled that tax bullshit with Delta Airlines because they stop dealing with the NRA right there if I was a part Amazon I would have told Atlanta to kiss my ass and went looking somewhere else. Also side-note Atlanta better Be very careful Hollywood wants to pull up out of Atlanta because of kemp. Stacy is trying to plead with them not to do it even though she is not governor

It seems like Amazon wanted be in NYC and DC anyway. That's what's being said anyway. I dunno.

But now that we see people actually pissed in the places they're coming (not the actual people, just the loud voices) they're damned if they do , damned if they don't.

And what's do different about Kemp and the white boys who were here when Hollywood got to ATL? Nothing. No one's pulling out of anywhere. They didn't come because of any one person anyway.

What the difference with kemp???? Well I’m only saying this because this is what Hollywood likes but he want to put out some anti-gay bills

RFRA ain't anti gay bills But either way, Georgia is the same.georgia, and "backing out" ain't some switch you can just flip. Wtf is Tyler Perey supposed to do with all that studio be just built ? Lol they're here for tax breaks and those are still happening . They can talk in the press. But there's a whole infrastructure here now, the time it takes to pull out of here, is the time.it takes to get wait his term out if he's so bad. And if straight people who work in film let gay people who work in film bully them into joining that fight--- whole nother story


Isn't it funny that legislation for %1 of the population (gay folks) is more supposedly consequential than any Bill effecting Black people?
