My take on Amazon going to NY
I think Amazon going to NY is a good thing for a couple of reasons. It should be good for NY and it should be good for America if elected officials recognize just what happened here. Ironically, Jeff Bezos may end up the loser here. Amazon going to NY city is good for the city because it creates jobs. Before there are the jobs with Amazon, there will be construction jobs building the Amazon location. Then you can bet there will be other growth around that area creating more construction work. There will be jobs for people to clean and maintain Amazon's building and any new surrounding buildings. There will need to be jobs for people filling the vending machines in the Amazon building. When the Amazon employees get tired of eating out of the machines, they will need restaurants and delis and pizza places. The jobs story doesn't stop there. Amazon ships stuff - a lot of stuff. That means trucks and cars and planes and train...
