Wait didn't Amazon build whatever in NYC anyway only without all the tax abatements or whatever?

Amazon already had an office in NYC which was growing. They just aren't making it their "official" HQ2 which would presumably involve expanding it more rapidly.

they did not - the NYC proposal for amazon's new office complex is totally canceled

which is good, there's no reason for economic development in a city as wealthy and office oriented as NYC to give any tax credits to a company as large as amazon

Yeah, once opposition to the HQ2 deal grew Amazon tried a power move by canceling the whole thing. Most of the city said "ok bye" and the only complaints were from Cuomo, de Blasio, and astroturf ad campaigns.

You are absolutely correct! I apologize for my error - they have been expanding their presence in NYC, but they're not going with their original plan to establish a second headquarters there.

Hah, basically an automatic 1-person Government shutdown for blocking committee testimony.

Not like anything will come of it, but it is funny that the law exists. I wonder how it would interact with the law that makes it illegal for the government to accept voluntary services from anyone.

I feel like there's been a notable uptick in the visibility of TERF and truscum (gatekeeping trans-ness with an extremely narrow definition that completely excludes non-binary folks, using many of the same "it's a fetish" type bullshit arguments the TERFs do) poo poo online recently but thought it might just be me noticing it more.

Authorities said about “12 pounds of marijuana, 149 grams of THC cartridges, and $4,157” was seized from Brown’s apartment during an initial search.


Seems like a normal thing for someone living next to a cop to have.

Also curious if those "grams of thc cartridges" is 149 carts or 3 carts weighing 50 grams each.

I wonder if there's any fund for defense of the guy they're pinning the murder on. That looks like a really clumsy frame-up, but one the courts will happily accept if he has no functional representation.

iirc he moved shortly after the murder when he got shot in a supposedly unrelated dispute and then tried to get out of testifying in the Guyger case by traveling to California
