    Here's an article about the Qanon kidnapping from the Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/crime-law/2020/01/08/mother-teamed-up-with-qanon-followers-kidnap-her-son-protective-custody-police-say/ Wake up, folks. The gubmint isn't taking your children due to your harmful, deep-rooted psychological issues and newfound interest in firearms, it's because they need a steady stream of children for their satanic rituals.

    2nd period a totally different story. 2-1, ice is tilted.

    We cannot steal 2 points in the last game and then lose to ****ing Ottawa.

    Car safety inspections are just a tax that takes me way too much time to pay.

    I used to live near Ffx corner, but I guess I’ll just have to continue my current practice of pouring a pint of bourbon into an empty Starbucks cup when walking around Old Town.

    Lots of people agree with this. Alternatively , lots of people think that gentrification unfairly displaces vulnerable lower-income people that haven't done anything wrong, and destroys the fabric of that neighborhood. Like I said, reasonable people can disagree.
  13. PleaseBlitz
    I think you can have a working-class neighborhood that isn't a slum.
  14. PleaseBlitz
    You can't. The question is, and reasonable people can disagree, is whether you want to turn a low-wage neighborhood into a higher-wage one.

    That was ****ing awesome.

    Virginia is providing about $575 million in “direct incentives” to Amazon, which I believe is basically tax cuts. On top of the personal taxes beaarock mentioned, VA predicts the economic benefit to be around $14 billion over the first 10 years. https://www.vachamber.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Final-Amazon-Study-120718.pdf

    Does anyone want to help Larry? Edit: thank you @bearrock

    Your post that I referred to (by quoting it) was that we are talking about warehouse jobs: Your subsequent post was about the economic impact, and sure, I’m inclined to believe your message board analysis and ignore the fact that over a dozen localities were offering 5+ billion dollars in incentives because they probably don’t employ anyone as smart as you on the topic of urban planning. Especially NYC.

    This is the dumbest thing I’ve read today.

    This is literally the ISIS playbook.

    It’s not trickle down economics (which is a scam). It’s the fact that if you add 25,000 high-paying jobs (but not millionaires), those people are going to buy a lot of **** and generate a lot of economic activity. The people that sell them stuff and services will make more money and themselves buy more ****. And so on and so forth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_multiplier_effect?wprov=sfti1

    I don’t know what Amazon pays in taxes at the state/local level. I do know that $25 billion is $25 billion. It’s why some bidders, not NYC or NOVA, offered close to $10 billion in incentives.
  23. PleaseBlitz
    Correct, instead of 25,000 jobs, they are getting about 1,500. The article AOC tweeted quotes Governor Cuomo, who estimates that NY would have reaped about $25 billion in economic benefits if they got the 25,000 jobs.
  24. PleaseBlitz
    This plus stealing generally falling out of favor (analytically) unless your success rate is sky high.
  25. PleaseBlitz
    What is her point? NYC actually won, despite offering far less in incentives than others, but then local opposition-supported by AOC-chased them out. So....who ****ing cares?
