LOL... NYC "politicians" don't seem to want jobs for their constituents......

Employers are evidently "bad"... While "government" is good.... LOL.....

Social justice would be served if Amazon established HQ2 in Nashville......

Chicago, Miami and Newark are among the passed-over finalists that have expressed interest in another chance to become the home of an Amazon project that could bring 25,000 jobs. Nashville, Tennessee, which was awarded a 5,000-person center, also said it was open to taking on a bigger role should New York withdraw from consideration.

Newark, New Jersey, some 15 miles (24 km) to the west of New York City, is willing to share the headquarters in the event its larger neighbor would be satisfied with a scaled-down project, said Aisha Glover, chief executive of Newark Alliance, the group leading that city’s effort.

“We’re definitely interested in reactivating our bid,” Glover said, stressing the importance of keeping Amazon in the New York metropolitan area.

Amazon in November announced New York City and Arlington, Virginia, which borders Washington, D.C., would share the so-called HQ2 project, splitting some 50,000 jobs between the two places as the Seattle-based company looked to expand elsewhere.
