Lol I’ve had this same conversation with about 100 people here in Seattle. The hubris of these jackals has got to stop. Life is not about capitalism, capitalism is supposed to support self-determinism, not corporatoindetermism.

True, but Amazon walked away from that beauty contest with detailed and often confidential information on all of the contestant cities – including how far they’re willing to bend over on giving tax breaks for these bait-and-switch boondoggles.

I suppose it’s too much to ask that cities learn from these fishing expeditions NOT to offer everything but the kitchen sink to companies that promise to move in and bring scads of jobs, if only you’ll guarantee rock-bottom taxes and other kickbacks…
