The part of me that likes giving big companies the benefit of the doubt wonders if amazon is intentionally trying to show how corrupt the process is by having such a big public competition for their hq2 site.
Even if they hadn't massively publicized it, the word would have gotten around to candidate cities and the same sort of bidding war would have occurred. So what benefit did amazon really accrue by creating a media frenzy around their hq2 bid process?
- s2g 8y agoIf the public balks at giving out a massive tax break to one of the worlds biggest companies, run by the (publicly) richest man, then Amazon can just point at the city next door and say "Well they promised us X, but we really like you guys so we wanted to go with you".
