    It’s all a prefectly executed plan. Get a “second headquarters” then phase out the Seattle headquarters. Bezos is a libertarian. He won’t put up with seattle bullshit longer than he needs to.

    He can pretend to be whatever he wants to be, but no one gives a shit because actions speak louder than words. Amazon is a class act government teat suckler, to the tune of about $1.4 billion in government subsidies -- https://goodjobsfirst.org/amazon-tracker

    A libertarian writes,

    Subsidies are when the government takes tax money from you by force, and spends it on something you would not be willing to pay for in the free market. Subsidies support questionable or obsolete businesses in the name of the public interest because the government does not trust us to do whats good for us on our own.

    "A core belief of libertarianism is that ideas will prevail in a free marketplace. And if you know about markets, you know the key to making them efficient and fair is for as many players to have as much information as possible." https://theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/aug/16/jeff-bezos-washington-post

    But how exactly do free markets square with Amazon's anti-trust activities and the fact that Amazon's intention is to BECOME the marketplace?

    There's no income tax in the state of Washington. Bezos isn't going anywhere.
    He won't move just his company.

    Boeing and I shared a hearty laugh over your post in the media room
    Derek's memory of Boeing's move is spot on.

    Or they had a CEO that was only with Boeing for a year and hated Seattle.

    I like to be a free market conservative that supports corporate welfare for oil companies and huge corporate income tax breaks. Yet thinks Amazon doesn't pay enough taxes and is the evil empire. Cause that's what I like to do.

    Bezos pays no Fed tax either using the same legal things that guys like Trump use to move losses forward.

    Pretty sure Bezos has no personal income at all. At that level you don't

    I could be wrong but when but let's be real, that never happens

    *cough*

    Any “shoots brah” gets a chin.

    That’s said. You need to think deeper. I’m a bit disappointed.

    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. Just like oregon’s but far larger and way more successful.
    So you're saying your life sucks, you can't prepare your own food, raise your own kids, walk your own dog, or live without instant entertainment. Throw in some "spheres" for wimpy fags who can't pull a full workday and you've got a nerd & wimp paradise. Gee. What's not to be jealous of?

    It's obvious the next Nerd mass-suicide is way overdue. Can you please replicate the Heaven's Gate event ASAP? Thanks.

    If you’re implying you struck a nerve with me. No. You’re the same old retard. But I think i stuck a nerve with you. Pointed out something you hadn’t thought through. Dip fuck
    I thought it through and meant what I said. I wasn't speaking to you regardless. Thanks for the contribution.

    Anyone know a good realtor I could call if I need my house sold?

    I know you're being Sarkastic, but Besos' neighborhood is my wheelhouse.

    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?

    It was a sad day when they started building 787s, 777s, and 737s Chicago office buildings that are now obsolete.
    Charleston, St Louis, Long Beach, Dallas, Wichita, Karnataka and Moscow are belly laughing.

    Are you getting more dumb or what?
    Obvious answer is obvious. That being said, Boeing got in a new CEO that had zero interest in being in Seattle regardless of taxes. Tho I think the Seattle council is fucking stupid as fuck (RIP sonics). Fuck them.

    Amazon isn't moving, they own 20% of the office space in downtown.

    Does Amazon fill those offices with more people now that it may be more expensive to do so.

    Plus, I'm hearing the Seattle real estate market is hot, hot, HOT!
