Amazon to move it’s second headquarters to Queens.[update 2/14 : Amazon cancels its plans.

It's all fun and games until Printar and his cousins in the H1B gang over pay and price your grandma out the house she lives in since the 70s. For those uninitiated, taking the bart to Dublin is like going to Mumbai in the evening.

fukk Amazon the warehouse job is TRASH. Literally worked like slaves! God forbid you had to use the bathroom you're timed on everything. Breaks was trash would take you five minutes to get to the break room depending on where you were. Add another five or so mins to wait to heat up your food. Warehouse shyt only cool if you move up quick. I had some Manager experience there shyt easy as fukk .

I hope they don’t reconsider Atlanta. Find another northeast city to give it too.

the only thing i'd support if they moved to ATL is if ATL City Council radically changes zoning laws to allow for 2-4x denser housing commitments.

Obama got killed how by being anti-business? If anything, the main complaint is he didn't following through his actual economic populism he preached on the campaign trail.

The fact of the matter is that residents, many who wouldn't even benefit from the Amazon HQ level jobs were about to possibly see their rent prices go up even further, cost of living increase, and also the deal was completely subsidized by tax payers who would not be the beneficiaries of the jobs in the first place. The average income a queens resident is $54k http://www.city-data.com/income/income-Queens-New-York.html while the jobs being proposed by this bill were well above $100k meaning the actual residents of the people who lived there would not be employed by the company to make up all the subsidization they would have to provide for it. If I'm an individual who is already being stressed by market forces like gentrification and increasing real estate prices, I would want this shyt in my neighborhood if there is a high likelihood I wouldn't even be paid enough or be hired by the company to make up for it.

You confuse, accurately highlighting, the increasing wealthy inequality that exists in the United States where corporate profits increase but real wages are stagnant if not decreasing since the 80s with communism and or full blown socialism.

Once again, thinking at the gut level and not beyond it where nuance is typically located.

There could have been restaurants barber shops and other small businesses that could have directly benefited from being surrounded by that location

How many of those thousands of jobs, paying out a reported average salary of 150K, were going to black people in NYC?

You anti-capitalist dudes on this website absolutely kill me using your iPhone and Samsung , Disney Marvel watching Netflix surfing being on Facebook and playing on your Sony PlayStation's ass nikkas.

The site you are on makes money. Deal with it.

This is a fiasco with huge ramifications for future businesses in that region. Rejoice at your own peril. This ain't FoxConn. This is fukking Amazon.

This is terrible for 2020.

You sound like a cac.

The average resident in queens bridge makes 16,000 a year

I guess my perception of New-York incomes is all wrong. How do you even eat on $16K a year? I always assumed that with the cost of living in New-York the average fast-food worker was raking in about $50K+
