“Each city, of course, will have the opportunity to provide a particular package of opportunities and incentives,” Constantine said Thursday. “As you well know, we have a prohibition on what’s called gifted public funds in the state of Washington so unlike some other states, we cannot simply provide cash subsidies to companies in order to come here.”
“I recognize that the bill passed by a veto-proof margin at Council, and therefore a veto will not change the outcome of this legislation,” Durkan said at the time. “However, the taxes under the bill will not be collected until 2022, so there is time to try forge a path that will create progressive taxes we can collect, ensure an even regional playing field and enhance Seattle’s ability to escape a long-term economic depression.”
“Customer feedback has been overwhelmingly positive – in fact, Prime members have adopted this benefit at one of the fastest rates we’ve seen,” Amazon Prime VP Cem Sibay said in a statement. “Since starting this rollout in mid-May, Prime members have already saved millions of dollars on everything from seasonal favorites to popular products.”
“For example, a temporal event (e.g., a football game) may be expected to produce a demand for certain types of items (e.g., sporting paraphernalia, food products, etc.). In advance of the event, the items may be delivered to the AFC in a quantity sufficient to satisfy the expected demand and the AFC may navigate to a position such that UAVs deployed from the AFC can safely navigate to the location of the event and deliver the items, thereby satisfying the demand. In some implementations, the AFC may navigate to a lower altitude and provide advertising for the temporal event or for other occasions (e.g., product announcements, product releases, sales).”
“I love the idea,” Whittaker said of Amazon HQ2 while showing us around The Robotics Institute on a recent Friday afternoon. “I like that kind of energy, I like that kind of progressive technology. I like Jeff Bezos. My sense is that it would be a two-way street, where Pittsburgh would be a lot of good for them, and Amazon would be a lot of good for Pittsburgh. We would really get along.”
“For the first time, we are offering a conference in addition to the traditional Advantage Austria Ski Race,” he said.

“In assessing the full scope of the Amazon HQ2 RFP opportunity, it was apparent that by linking our efforts, the combined Buffalo Rochester Metro Corridor can offer a proposal that is both compelling and extremely competitive,” said?Tom Kucharski, president of Invest Buffalo Niagara, and?Matt Hurlbutt, interim president and CEO of Greater Rochester Enterprise, in a joint news release on Thursday. “With over 2.2 million people, a very talented labor pool, and an extremely livable community, our organizations are excited to join forces in attempting to draw the interest of Amazon.”
“Amazon is a demanding place to work. The expectation is to work long, hard and smart,” he said via email. “There is also a very deliberate attempt to hire and retain the best. People who don’t meet the Amazon bar are actively managed out. This was never a secret. Anyone who has friends at Amazon knows this. To be a bit quantitative on what ‘working hard’ means: I rarely worked weekends, and the office does get deserted after 6pm. I probably averaged 50-60 hours/week which was perfect for me.”
“I was taught by my girl classmate and I found it so interesting,” said Yan Xuhui, a shy freshman. “I spent 10 hours on my scarf and I will continue to attend such activities in the future.”
“Amazon’s quest for a second massive corporate base is reminiscent of Boeing’s ongoing efforts to ship jobs out of the Seattle area and hold us hostage,” said Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant. “For decades, Boeing executives and billionaire shareholders have carried out systematic economic extortion by pitting cities and states against one another, forcing a race to the bottom for the living standards of workers, and crushing labor unions. Amazon has similarly been using its monopoly power to gobble up swathes of prime real estate, and extract plum deals from the city’s Democratic establishment.”
