Why not sue Amazon for wire fraud or FTC misinformatio? Either Amazon truly intended HQ2 or it didn't. You can't have things both ways.

If I am reading this right:

- Amazon was behind by about a year

- So far they have only hired 8,500 of the planned 10,000 employees

- Amazon did not request any of the tax credit for the year they didn't add headcount

I think everyone is rightly underwhelmed by HQ2 but I think calling it a scam is a bit hyperbolic. At the end of the day it's not actually costing the local taxpayers anything to do this
