    I think NY is dumb to fight this but there are clearly winners and losers in this just like any major decision and unions would seem to be winners in this. Like a few others have said amazon is not seen as Pro-union.

    Nowhere in this document does it say that Amazon will pay 30 billion in taxes.

    It also makes an assumption that the average Amazon salary will be 169k and that 75k jobs will be created.

    Provide a study on the actual Amazon proposal. Preferably one that actually supports your claim

    REMI study above cites $14 billion for the state.

    A separate study done by NYC Economic Development Corporation estimates $13.5 billion for the city.

    Thus $27.5 billion total.

    tens of thousands of construction jobs?

    MNK job in SC is probably larger than the amazon one proposed in NYC and it's employing under 1k construction workers

    You have yet to prove that Amazon will pay either your 27 billion or 30 billion number. I read your report. It doesn’t validate your stance. Amazon has proven to not pay taxes.

    Furthermore, Amazon has not remained committed to their initial proposal.

    You’re making shit up.

    It's 25k jobs over 20+ years. Why is Google expanding here without these incentives. Amazon literally dangled this shit in front of us to troll everyone. They didn't even negotiate down. They just ran the second they didn't like what they heard. So let's be real how do any of you supporting this take anything Amazon said seriously?

    And it was always going to be NY and DC because those are the two locations that fit their growth goals.

    Those two cities giving them anything is ridiculous.

    Mercedes was given $250 million in incentives to come to Alabama in 1993.

    25 years later Alabama has an $8billion automobile industry that was previously non-existent.

    So it can work. It can also be terrible.
