how dare amazon

the article is much funnier

I did spot a

Amazon is bad <:NPC:500042735617703967>

```If Amazon really wants to plop itself down in our city, it should abide by a few conditions. No taxpayer money should go to subsidize one of the wealthiest companies on earth; Amazon should cease union-busting, before it finds itself inundated by inflatable rats; and Jeff Bezos should pay to build housing for all 63,000 homeless people in New York, an expense that would not affect his lifestyle in the least. In return for these concessions, NYC residents will agree not to spit in your coffee or spray communist graffiti on your headquarters for the first month.```

LOW ENERGY

```Its owner should have his immoral hoard of wealth forcibly expropriated by the state before his power grows so great that all of society is warped by it. ```

fucking what

proposing literal communism

as the moral option

dying here

do these people not understand how tax breaks work

the gov doesn't give Amazon the money

Amazon just get to keep more of the money they earn before paying tax

they still pay tax

and they'll be paying substantially more than mister Hamilton Nolan

and on top of that, these 25,000 employees will also be paying tax on all their earnings

how long before he is putting his resume on twitter?

he is definitely getting cut once the guardian starts laying off staff like all the other shit tier papers

Tax cuts are a normal tool of governments to make them self look like the better choice for private corporations to set up shop. that the left cant even understand that is showing how shit they are at their jobs. as the answer to more income is not always let tax everyone that have money 70% and by magic we have all the money we need for our utopia of for illigals and people that don't want to work

Economists seriously think that tariffs are worse than high taxes

That's another reason to encourage free thinking and researching stuff for yourself and not believing everything people say

Well I want stuff to get in

with stuff and can do more stuff

cus stuff and wages ain't the same thing

<:high_iq:382980759012638731>

@turtwig The federal govt actually does give them money on top of the tax breaks, however.

Shhh

Need AOC to MORE look retarded

@Fitzydog oh?

I think at one point we were subsidizing their use of the USPS as well

We still are.

But none of that was part of AOC's complaints.

that's not ideal but I suspect if they didn't get USPS subsidies they would push the additional cost onto their customers

Yup you still are

you are subsidizing Amazon to destroy shops

cus USPS

it's mighty dumb

you think some of Elon's money is dirty?

try Bezos
