What he said were all facts. He didn't make anything up..

Did an outside firm verify what the company is telling you?

They are required to provide evidence to Virginia's Secretary of Commerce and Trade.

All I am saying is a company can very easily lie and not get caught. Same with Toyota. They lied and got caught..

Okay.
It would be tax fraud in this case though.

Jobs "promised" and jobs that they are legally required to create are not the same thing. You see, accountability is the issue. Too easy to simply say that business conditions have changed and use that as an excuse to skip out on the deal.

It may not happen exactly like that, but the end result is accurate.

Exactly...and the end result is always that a bunch of millionaires are imported into the community, and the natives and long-term working-class residents are displaced. Within a couple years, one by one, the industrial parks and districts employing skilled blue-collar workers are turned into boutiques, wineries, and tasting rooms.

And the "promised jobs" to the community are all part-time, minimum wage, and nowhere upward to go.

EVERY FREAKING TIME!

Indeed. What DIDO for some reason can't understand is the accuracy of what Tip O'Neil said...."All politics is local". No truer words were ever spoken. The people living in the part of the city targeted by Bezos sent the man a clear message...." While it wasn't easy we got along just fine before you got here and we'll do just fine after you're gone".
Those people were not anti growth. They are receptive to change but in New York fools suffer mightily. And they most definitely will not stand to be cuffed around by or made to get out of the way of some Texas billionaire .

Lol, the very company we work for does the same kind of thing.finds illegal and legal ways to pay less taxes.

You need to make up your mind.

You said Amazon pulled out of the deal because they didn't want to be unionized. Are you dizzy from all your spinning?

I'm really not interested in your conspiracy theory about secret tax fraud going on at Amazon. If it's happening, I hope they get caught.

Just making a response. We all know these big corporations lie all the time.. conspiracy theory... Lmao ..

I'm just not understanding this theory that Amazon secretly doesn't want their company to grow and fill these jobs.

That's not what I'm saying.what I was saying is. Amazon, or any other big company always sells to local governments that they are bringing more high paying jobs to the area. Which in theory isn't a lie. Because they didn't say they'll have to hire x amount of employees for job making 100000 a year plus. They are just saying they are bring high paying jobs. The spots they fill from the area are 99% low paying jobs .

Okay.
I don't have any problem with that.

It seems what is always sold and magnified locally, falls way, way short when it materializes.

The opposition was comprised of numerous points of opposition All of which proved very successful at getting their point across to Bezos. At that point in time Bezos was clearly in need of a new public relations firm. The one he had back then failed miserably to put down what was formidable opposition which in the end prevailed.
