Bezos played these cities like a fiddle. They'll never offer deals to him like this again but he doesn't care because this was a one-shot stunt. Like sports teams, the impact on the local economies will be negligible. Lets see how

It shouldn't be illegal to demonstrate that you are dumber than Jeff Bezos. Really, this is what it comes down to...Bezos outplayed the cities. He'll never get a deal like this again, but since he only wants to make a splash like
