They are missing:
1. giving amazon huge tax breaks thus giving them an unfair advantage over other businessess in your city
2. amazon leeching all the work force yet not even paying them more then other places might.
3. increase no sales tax whats so ever since amazon has to pay you sale tax anyways now when a citizen buys form them.
4. ” create” more slave labor jobs.
wow, all those benefits!!
heck no! cities should be shooing amazon away and giving their local businesses tax breaks to be able to hire more workers across the board.
do not let the evil amazon destroy your economy
But this is Arlington, not some place out in the rust belt. You know, spitting distance from the Capitol, and home town of the Pentagon. It’s whole different animal.
