If they even CONSIDERED CT, I would sell all my Amazon stock,

"Technology was not a great deal for people who lived in Seattle who can no longer afford to live there"

So why did so many areas kill themselves to put in a bid to get this Amazon office?

Remember when you claimed they where only looking at conservative areas - and yet they ended up in VA and NY.

No I don't recall that, but if I did, I was totally wrong, at least temporarily. NYC is unique in terms of attracting business, obviously.

VA isn't die-hard liberal.

you conveniently left out Nashville, Nashville was the other big winner. amazon originally picked a conservative place, a middle of the road place, and a liberal place.
