The economic costs of needing to change infrastructure to make the Amazon work exceeded the benefits offered after the huge tax breaks especially when you consider that money spent means a loss of revenue going to other infrastructure needs.

There is no meaningful economic difference between Amazon paying New York $3 billion less than they would normally owe and Amazon receiving $3 billion from New York. It has the exact same effect.

I’m surprised they didn’t wedge Charlene Yi in there somewhere.

I think the NBA HQ was aware of the Anthony Davis situation

Is this the take where Gabe Fernandez isn’t paid by Rich Paul?

Another latin word status quo
