Agreed. Karma at work. When will Seattle make a law making it illegal for Amazon, or any of the large companies, from moving out of the city?

The next step will be for Seattle to pass a law making it illegal for a company to flee the city. This is So Atlas Shrugged. I wonder if Bezos is beginning to wonder of liberalism all all that great after all..

Boy are they shooting themselves in the foot or what?

Amazon owners are socialists until the dragon turns and wants to eat them. Unfortunately the real payers of this tax will be the workers who have to earn that money but not get paid so Amazon can pay the tax, the customers of Amazon who will have to pay a higher price that includes the tax, fewer workers to avoid the cost of the tax and eventually the homeless who will have less money to pay for homes because the government is consuming whatever can be produced.

How long before Seattle becomes the New Detroit?

Sooner or later the protection money is never enough...as long as a thug has you by the short hairs....the end result is inevitable. The only option for Amazon is to "go Galt" and decamp to some "gauche" place like maybe Texas!

Amazon too dumb not to know how socialists are...deserve what they get....as do the socialists when Amazon leaves the area...

Seattle may regret this. Amazon is already looking for a location for a second headquarters. Once that's established, it's much easier to close up shop in Seattle.

California is making similar noises about a special tax levy on big businesses as a way of addressing their seriously underfunded state pension system. Do they sit awake at night wondering how many people they can alienate and still stay solvent?

I guess they didn't give as much graft as was desired. Maybe they'll get another chance to pay up for protection.

Socialists and SJWs are adept at turning their opposition upside down and shaking everything of value loose.

Rand pointed out that economics is not what drives them, it's political pull.

Dumb-ass Amazon thought that the liberal policies wouldn't affect them because they were too big and important.....Guess they found out that sooner or later the pigs on Animal Farm take everything.

Here is a more detailed article that covers the revolution building between the people and their masters:

Thats true enough, however, I would say it is lack humor, as it is going to hurt a lot of people...

John Stossel now has a video on this,

Seattle...I'm finding humor in this.

This "idea" is so patently absurd and economically insane that its supporters can now, without a doubt, be deemed totally economically ignorant. What this proves, in my estimation, is that these new age progressives are truly acolytes to their failed beliefs- despite their protestations to the contrary. They will continue to push their idiocy regardless of any consequences.

As one highly progressive dark warrior said, “I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.”

Amazon should have seen this coming years ago. Go to bed with dogs, get up with fleas.
At least most dogs are loyal to those who feed them.

The pot of gold at the end of the SF socialist rainbow.https://www.google.com/search?q=homeless+in+S...

Why is me dino thinking about some quaint bygone group called The Sons Of Liberty?
They just for once dressing up like American Indians would not pass the PC smell test.
Oops, I wrote "Indians." Let's change that to "American indigenous natives."
There, there, me dino fixed that deplorable PC boo-boo.
So it's all better now.

It is so sad that greedy politicians will destroy every city and state economy because they see "loot" and want it. Look at their "sugar tax", most people gave them the middle finger and went outside the city. Costco put up signs saying to go to their Redmond store to avoid it. That is right near mutiny overall. yet the idiots keep it up, and the drones vote them in...again and again...

Apparently the private sector is nothing more than a piggy bank for Socialists. I hope and trust that Seattle gets its due - the death of its Golden Goose by way of businesses fleeing the city.
