Amazon Shopping for Office Space in Manhattan, Proving HQ2 Haters Right

I hope after the utter trainwreck that is Foxconn in Wisconsin every local government is being more skeptical of these corporate welfare deals.

I'm really tired of seeing fancy corporate lawyers outfox local politicians over and over again, somehow always getting a new record-breaking welfare incentive plan while structuring the contracts such that they have a hundred loopholes and never have to actually do anything for the money. This keeps happening at small and large scales all over the country, and it needs to stop.

I wouldn't read too much into this. It doesn't prove anything. AMZN has been in NYC for a while. I'm sure this is simply for growth.
