    Next time you’re wondering what’s happening to the world. The rising industry, tech, neither pays its taxes, nor does it employ a large, historically proportional number of people at high pay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯https://twitter.com/matthewstoller/status/934568976742412288 …

    Fresno city official says that Amazon wouldn't have to pay taxes into a 'civic black hole', 'not for the fire department on the fringe of town, but to enhance their own investment in Fresno.” (h/t @davidsirota)

        One of Amazon's "must haves" for its new HQ is access to public transportation. Now, that might be in there as just a PR sound bite. But, it strikes me that it's more likely Amazon has many employees who don't earn enough to afford a car.

        I could afford a car, but why would I want one?

        Well, Amazon would pay taxes, they would just be certain it would be spent on facilities useful for them 😛(and lord knows what other corrupted benefits they'll be able to find...)

        Sounds a bit like the NFL, just less overtly hostile to host cities and employees.
