    Who is surprised by this? @GrandpaSankey could have spotted this move coming from a mile away.

    My sources tell me that this is also not a political bluff to deter the Council from approving the tax.

    There are still doubters among us

    The goalposts keep moving. From Day 1 I said that HQ2 was subterfuge and it is

    Boeing would never leave Seattle either

    You keep electing morons and this is what you get.

    Office space is office space and data isn't locked in a safe anymore

    In fact office space will be like a buggy manufacturing plant in 20 years. Who works in an office anymore? Poor people?

    Bezos goes into the office everyday. Heard he's afraid of heights and works on the 5th floor. Doesn't like elevators either so takes the stairs.

    I like to call workplaces 'campuses.' That's what I like to do, because I'm a retard like that.

    Mutually adjacent office buildings situated for the purpose of a promoting an enterprise. Food courts. Child care. Dog parks. Entertainment. “Spheres” for out-of-office time. All along the same neighborhood streets. 12 million square feet of space and more being built. 30,000 employees in a handful of square blocks. Yeah, it’s a campus.
    Meet Brigitte Höess



    Born Inge-Brigitt Höess on August 18, 1933, her early years were spent moving from one concentration camp to another as her father moved up the ranks of Hitler's SS.

    From the age of seven until 11 she lived in a villa beside Auschwitz, where her family resided in fine style.
    They were waited upon by staff – many of them prisoners – and their home was decorated with furniture and artwork stolen from prisoners as they were selected for the gas chambers.

    They could even see the prisoner blocks and old crematorium from an upstairs window, but Brigitte more fondly recalls visiting the horses and German shepherds at the campus.

    Tacoma will welcome them with open arms. Either that or Dallas.

    Tacoma losing All State was a big blow. The Chihuly Glass Museum is all that's left.

    Amazon > Allstate

    We will be fine. We always are. If not, there's always the heroin trade. Bidness is booming!
