We're talking about competing businesses not workers.
And funny enough, more jobs at Amazon also means less worker supply for competing businesses. So even that is anti-competitive in a roundabout way. (Even though, yes, high worker demand is good for the economy in general).
- refurb 6y agoYes, but competition between business can be good for consumers and employees. So not sure if your comment about "so bad for business" is all that clear cut. And whether or not Amazon creates HQ2 to NYC, does that impact their competitiveness with local NYC businesses? I doubt it.
- tovej 6y agoCompetition is good, Amazon's practices are bad for competition. Inviting Amazon to NYC with tax incentives is similar to planting a great white shark in a small lake, injecting the local fish with sedatives and the shark with a mix of steroids and stimulants.
