Water is wet (City council is fucktarded) POTDRaceBannon said:Business on the scale of Amazon who have major investors to answer to and have a possibly highly inflated stock value are not into hope as a strategy. The fact the council even went this far is cause for major concern for the future. Why risk it when the rest of America is throwing themselves at you like Stormy Daniels?

As someone who has spent many hours lobbying city hall, nothing in this thread is more true than this statement.TurdBuffer said:The Seattle City Council sees everything through the anti-capitalist, have vs. have-not & class warfare lens. Old, gray haired, never-fuckable men and women passionately advocate to stick it to the rich and corporations, regardless of how or where the money is spent. No member of the SCC or the jobless losers who attend their meetings have a clue about economics or fiscal responsibility. That's why they go to meetings instead of being out making their lives better by earning money.

Shit that gets proposed and never comes to fruition is the shit you never hear about. If it's at a committee hearing that shit is cooked. The most likely outcome for now is that they push the May 14 vote off another month for more "Seattle process."2001400ex said:

They were fucktarded enough to propose the fucktardest tax of all on employee headcounts. This one ain't over.2001400ex said:
Even in their infinite fucktardedness, City council will back off.GrundleStiltzkin said:
Does Amazon fill those offices with more people now that it may be more expensive to do so.2001400ex said:
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.Swaye said:

There's no income tax in the state of Washington. Bezos isn't going anywhere.MikeDamone said: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.
Derek's memory of Boeing's move is spot on.DerekJohnson said:

Or they had a CEO that was only with Boeing for a year and hated Seattle.
Amazon isn't moving, they own 20% of the office space in downtown.
Plus, I'm hearing the Seattle real estate market is hot, hot, HOT! -

Seattle has a huge pool of highly educated noyds. Many cities do not. Amazon won't leave. I don't think the city council is smart enough to know the leverage they have between their cunt licking and stop discriminating against the gender fluids rally though.

Sounds like a Company Store to me designed to exploit workersCirrhosisDawg said:
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.oregonblitzkrieg said:I like to call workplaces 'campuses.' That's what I like to do, because I'm a retard like that.

I love coming to a tug thread a few days late and be astonished by how many Hondo posts are buried by WTFs.
It's amazing he's still here.
