I know the marketing and writing teams are different, but if you truly truly are shocked that nobody listened, seriously stop giving affiliate links and daily deals for Amazon. It’s like a vegan site pushing ads for hamburger deals because the “departments are different”.

Maybe your advice about how terrible Amazon is would be taken more seriously if your pages weren’t covered with affiliate links to buy products from Amazon.

Why should they?

Oh yeah bc sports stadiums hire 25k people with an avg salary of $150k per year.

No I don’t and publicly funded sports stadiums aren’t even remotely analogous to this situation.

It doesn’t make sense to build your own campus in Queens for a mere 1,500 positions. Don’t know how many jobs Queens would have ended up with or how fast they would have scaled up. Maybe what they do in Manhattan will ultimately resemble HQ2 over time. 

No it wast 1500 jobs when all would be said and done, this was 25000 permanent positions from logisitics to IT management. Please get educated before you start making assumptions regarding something you clearly never read up on prior.

What are you basing this claim on? Genuinely curious. 

Take a hint that it’s not wanted? That 2nd HQ had nearly 70% support in NYC including majority support across all demographic groups. And even higher percentage support of those in Queens  Stop trying to compare 1500 jobs coming as some sort of caving by Amazon. That’s 6% of the 25k jobs that would have been created.…

Wow, the lack of comprehension by the author with basic economic principles, math, and just reality in general is outstanding.

“If you are using a smart phone to check your email or if you watched the Lebrun press conference on a tablet or smart tv you are just as guilty as they are of turning a blind eye for the sake of your own convenience and profit.”

This is such a tortuous pile of nonsense, false dichotomy BS. 

“You, yes, YOU, are EXACTLY…

A good time to remember that Colin Kaepernick gave up his job and all the considerable perks that come with it to stand up against injustice, while LeBron James, whose legacy and bank account are both more secure, is unwilling to risk even a small fraction of future earnings to speak on one of the few world issues…

Not to mention you don’t get fired for saying something unpopular -- I can tweet about how great Skyline chili is all day long and not get fired -- but for actual hateful shit that reflects poorly on your place of employment.

And none of what that clown says is remotely true. And again...for those in the back. Freedom of speech is freedom from government intervention and prosecution for protected speech (and not all speech is protected). Getting fired for exercising speech does not fall under any auspices of the First Amendment. This shit…

“Although some people like to brag about America’s freedom of speech, there’s a lot of topics that are actually quite tightly censored – if you say one thing that goes against the politically correct line, you will immediately lose your job and be scorned by the entire population.” 

if you say one thing that goes against the politically correct line, you will immediately lose your job and be scorned by the entire population.

You’re telling me “Woj in the House” is not a family friendly sitcom on ABC’s TGIF, and I simply don’t believe you. 

I suppose the bright side is that she could have been soaked in much worse in the clubhouse in Oakland.
