The Nation Courts Amazon for HQ2

I think that would have a negative effect on wimens curling.

Anyone heard of an approx timeline for the decision making process once the proposal period is over?

The sad thing is Bezos could fund this new headquarters all by himself and sell/lease it back to the company. A move like this would wow investors and he could make back the principal in increased stock value.

I bet he has smarter people than you working on this kind of stuff.

This is TRG padded room, unpossible.

Rather than spending our money on weaponry, we should let Russia and China host all the Olympics they want.

That’s genius. Someone tweet that to the President.

But do they also do Sugarbush ski reports each morning?

Only until they realized that nobody cared.

"2018"

[BmillsSkier]

Shouldn’t you put a hashtag and maybe an African warlord’s name in front of that?

Otherwise it’s just a useless year with no social meaning.

I do know he would never spend his own money , even if he would end up with a net gain.
For these modern day Carnegies making the states dance gives them much joy.

And the Brits on the ApriliaForum are much more cutting, especially the Australians.

I don't think you have a fucking clue what you're talking about.

No correct that.. I know that you don't.

What about the timeline from decision to initial move-in time?

[Timberridge]

I'm sensing Brit is more of a Vincent guy.

It'd be in the RFP if it's anywhere.

I can't stand Don McLean.

I can't stand Don McLean.

I thought he was more going for this, for some reason

I have a thread for that. https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ght=Don+McLean

Yep - that's what I was going for

I hope they decide soon, so I can stop reading about how it is coming to Tampa.
The Business Journal here has an article every damn day about it.
I have seen their tactics- they bring their own out of state contractors in, buy the material out of state, etc.
The only "jobs" they have created here are minimum wage jobs.
Obviously, an HQ would be different, but I really don't want them here.
I think it would kill the culture, and every bozo would bow to their every demand.
Couple that with all the millennial dickheads on fixies that I would have to run over, and it is a bad deal all around.

[AK47bp]

Tampa? Really. I don't think you have to worry about that. I bet Bezos doesn't want to employ 50,000 people in a hurricane evacuation zone. They may have to shut down all operations every few years for evacuations. No bueno for a customer service and speed delivery focused mega corp.

1 hurricane in 11 years, and maybe 2 tropical storms. Bad snowstorms shuts companies down far more often. Or a highway overpass being burned.
I hope you're right though. The lack of income tax, killer airport, low(ish) home prices, etc. are being cited as the reasons they are looking here.
I think ATL could use more traffic. They get our hurricanes though.
Looks like Moosedick IA it is.

They should put it on barges or tractor trailors and do a tour with it and who ever has the best party thats where they stop.

Or just build a giant airship and float it wherever they please
