Y'all even trying anymore? I know you hate corporations, but they aren't as bad and evil as you perceive them to be.
I am catching up on this discussion but I had to step in and comment on your completely inadequate understanding of how and why local politicians make decisions and why they routinely make decisions that are financially not in their jurisdictions best interest. Since those chickens don’t come home to roost until after they have received all the media coverage and leveraged it into higher offices the reality is they care not at all if it’s financially viable. That doesn’t even take into account public officials being directly greased.
Your thinking that if so many cities put in offers it must be a great deal from Amazon shows a total lack of understanding of how local and regional politics work throughout almost the entire country.
