Subsidies are a form of 'gasp' socialism! The @GOP s game plan is chock full of socialism. It's just that thier socialism has a primary focus to build Billionaires Row, not raise the quality of life for the middle class.

But....no amazon subsidies to offset NY state’s insanely high state tax rate?
-
They pull in billions. Why do they need subsidaries?
-
Because they could go to another state and pay lower taxes....which is now exactly what they will do. Tax subsidies are a way for cities / states to encourage economic activity - whether that be to invest in solar infrastructure or for Amazon to provide 25k jobs to their citizens
-
Amazon actually has a lot of jobs in NYC and are creating a lot more - they want and need to be here but were just hoping to get paid for it.

Ask the Texas folks about how west Texas ranchers love compatible use grazing land (yay for grass fed healthy beef) and wind turbines/solar panels. Ranchers make more money so it's win-win-win for everyone. Ditch the petro-dollar economy and get on the techno-dollar!

Sweetie you can't make tires fertilizer electric wire paint carpet clothes tennis shoes, furniture, roof shingles, pavement 4 streets, water hoses, or just about about anything out of wind or solar!

You can manufacture everything we manufacture today using renewable energy. Like it or not we have shifted to a technology based economy and over time new processes will replace older 20th century processes. The magnitude of the shift in the last 50 years is incredible.

Sweetie sorry2 bust your bubble you can't even make electricity from wind power without oil, that 70 gallons of lube oil that lubricates the gears or grease in the bearings! You cannot make the steel base without high carbon steel & you can't make high carbon steel without coal!

Transition. It's a word. Learn it

LOL - Just love condescending mansplaining as if women have no idea about technology and development of new materials and processes. Like your GPS? Thank me - I was on the development team for it in the mid 1980s.

Short note on some thread condescending comments concerning outdated dependency on petro-chemicals. * Group IV synthetic and silicon lubricants are used extensively * USAF has tested biofuels in jet fighters successfully * Wind turbine blades are made from lightweight composites
-
(cont) * Stronger composites, alloys, and ceramics replacing carbon steel * Organic fertilizers and pest control widely available * Maglev technology does not require traditional rails (plus enables high speed) * Most everything else mentioned has non-petro replacements

If any corporation [oil, gas Amazon] cannot thrive and "create jobs" without any government subsidy or tax break, then we must question the foundation of capitalist logic. Is it corporations that "create jobs" or government investment?

Corporate subsidy is socialism directed at the few not the many, it is to enable greed and gluttony for the oil barons
