I am opposed to subsidies to any corporation. Amazon is only jumping in on the free money like the auto sector and more have gotten.
50,000 jobs
Not all but for this equation I will use $150,000 base pay for each job is $7,500,000,000.00
$7,500,000,000 x the NYS tax rate of 8.82% would be
$661,500,000.00 annually in NYS taxes.
So in 9 years the city would make back that 3Billion.
Amazon has grown 7 billion dollars in the last year so with that type of growth Amazon doesn't really need the incentives and it would make p that 3 billion in revenue in about 1 quarter...
In our situation with GM, they are closing a plant hear Toronto and everyone feathers are ruffled because we forgave them of 3.5 billion, but GM claims that them getting the 10 billion bailout and continuing operations for the last 10 years was worth 108 billion to the Canadian economy.
So I wonder what the overall impact will be to the NY economy...would have been massive.Give Peas A Chance…0 -
I still think that if Bezos wasn’t going through the divorce they would have pushed forward in NYC. He is in full take no prisoners, take no shit mode right now.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

They would most likely employ 1000 construction workers during that time of say 5 years to construct from soup to nuts.
1000x$100,000=$1,000,000,000
1bilx5years=$5,000,000,000
5bilx8.82%=$442,000,000 in tax revenue over the 5 years.
Good point about the construction. I forgot about that!0 -

I imagine Amazon prefers east coast but will most likely encounter similar resistance from blue state politics. That opens the door for the Midwest.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

Everything here in NY is expensive already. When Amazon announced HQ2 the wolves came out and started buying property immediately.
Properties doubled and tripled over night.
People were getting priced out or were going to be priced out...0 -

Do you want to move to New York City or to West Virginia for example? I bet they thought the location gave them an edge on recruiting to fill the jobs with the most talented people.hippiemom = goodness0 -

I do think that this statement from AOC is overblown and ridiculous. To act like the decision by company to move there was nefarious is outrageous.....
Today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world," Ocasio-Cortez, one of the deal's staunchest critics, wrote
