    Try reading the articles I posted to get an understanding of why the local people rejected the idea.
    The average pay of an HQ2 created job was to be $150K.

    You leftys probably missed it(because FOX), but somebody asked her about this today, and she actually said she was thrilled about Amazon's decision because now it freed up the 3 billion Amazon was set to get in tax breaks for rail and other infrastructure projects in her district!
    Any "progressives" here want to fill in what she's missing?

    When the bulk of the workers are paid $13.00 an hour can you imagine what the salary must be for the higher ups?

    Then too, did you read in your article what the worker would have to earn in NYC to match the same standard of living in the other cities mentioned?

And from such people turn away"

    I will bet you are going to say that the 3 Billion does not exist since it was in tax incentives, not actual cash.
