Amazon HQ2 Added No Jobs in Virginia Last Year
commondreams.orgWhy 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
