Good job helping to stop this greedy corporation from creating 25,000 high paying jobs in Queens. No on needs those jobs, nor the crowds more customers would create at local retailers, and neither the city nor the state needs the tax revenues those jobs would have produced!

Most of those jobs are not for the locals but everyone else they hire that comes out of state or country. I know first hand living here in Seattle plus Amazon wont pay much in taxes but rather use cities to pay for their subsides. I'm happy for this move!
