    As @JeffBezos pushes into philanthropy, I‘d hope that he brings a giving spirit to Amazon HQ2. Amazon should seek no tax breaks. Rather, it should make commitments about how it plans to contribute civically to the area and mitigate gentrification and other harms it might cause.https://twitter.com/petridishes/status/1059535996033908737 …

        I’ll go even further: @jeffbezos, turn your company over to the workers who created your fortune. You’re already obscenely wealthy. You’ve got plenty to build your spaceships or whatever.

        It's always nice to dream but that is not how Bezos operates. He will get as much as he can, and then ask for more.

        @ananwrites Your sense of humor and the timing of this just makes me double over with laughter. You saw they announced the split and we all expect they are demanding -- and are likely to get -- double the public subsidy incentives. @JeffBezos

        He doesn’t give a tin sh*t about either. He’s in a razor thin margin game that blows up when it slows down-pray your city isn’t chosen. The market he tried to corner is actually a local market w/the internet as the glue & it will collapse under that weight as sure as I breath.

        They won’t even do that in HQ1 what makes you think they’ll be generous in HQ2?
