Former Amazon employee here, my experience was terrible. (see my other comment). While it is great you are happy and defend your company, your experience might not match others.

Read my answer again. I said people are not unhappy about Amazon moving here (after all, they already have offices here), but for the large subsidies Cuomo conceded to them. The questions on that survey don't mention any thing about

That's right.... nobody is denying that a large company creating jobs, is a bad thing. People are upset for the large subsidies. the "Do you believe NYC should give 3B+ subsidies to Amazon" Or, "Do you believe NYC giv

No New Yorker was happy about the subsidies, especially since it was x4 the amount of the one Amazon got in D.C. Subway is running at full capacity, and real estate prices are already high. It was seen as a bad deal, and new yorkers just d

Most likely just water loss... Every bodybuilder knows: when they start 'cutting', the first few kgs, in the first couple weeks are almost water loss and glycogen, so you always discount it (i.e. don't count it as fat loss).

And that is not true at all, especially in sports. When you just starting playing a new sport, you are still learning and going along while making a lot of mistakes. After few years of playing you learn enough (by experience or training), t

You are missing the point. If coffee places, cupcake stores, and bodegas (which are not luxury good sellers) can thrive and expand, then it is not necessary the story of: "rents pushing great businesses away", more of: Not so gr

I live in manhattan and I feel this story is a bit exaggerated, or at least I don't see the author's reality. (Him quoting a Real Estate firm, which is interested in activity, doesn't give credence to the data). The turnarou

wat, yes they are very human friendly. 0C for freezing water and 100C for boiling water makes a lot more sense than 32F and 212F or 273.15°K and 373.15°K. Also one meter is about the length of one very large step, or two smaller steps, a

At least those "$5.00 or $20.00 minimum for credit cards" signs that you see often in coffee places and bars will go away. They are probably illegal (or against contracts) in most states, but you see them very often.
