Facing opposition, Amazon reconsiders NY headquarters site, two officials say
I can't even try and take an article like this seriously. I understand it says in the article that Jeff Bezos owns the WaPo, but the way it's written sounds like Amazon trying to make a threat. Just look at the way the article starts off.<p>> Amazon.com is reconsidering its plan to bring 25,000 jobs to a new campus in New York City following a wave of opposition from local politicians, according to two people familiar with the company's thinking.<p>Amazon isn't considering bringing 25,000 jobs to NYC out of the goodness in their heart. It's a business play where they are doing what they think is most profitable for them. They want to be in NYC because it's the largest market in the US. I think their plan all along was to come to NYC. They just thought they could stage this elaborate "pick my city" nonsense and get a bunch of tax breaks. This article just sounds like them whining that people caught on.
