The paying taxes thing is a myth. It's common for locations to give companies who hire as many people as amazon a tax break because the revenue that place will collect from Amazon employees as well as the businesses that will spring up around it to service those employees far exceeds the tax break. No one is forcing those places to give Amazon tax breaks. Just like you saw in new York, they were free to say no and Amazon was free to look elsewhere.
man im puzzled how smart people can swallow this myth
Furthermore , true capitalism is based on a free market , By Amazon not paying any tax the government gave them the massive advantage where they could afford to undercut their competitors and sell at a loss , The sole aim of this was not to corner the market but to put their competitors out of business , funny how prices have gone up now that they are one of the few shows in town
Look at fukking Uber , they are using exactly the same strategy , they pay hardly any tax so they are able to charge ludicrously low prices solely to run their competitors out of business , look how many years they were losing billions of dollars because they were so committed to their strategy of controlling the market
The loss of all those jobs , price competition which is good for the consumer , tax revenue .... but nah it benefits America
If these companies werent given an unfair advantage then hey its all in the game .... and the companies are not to blame , their sole purpose is to generate profits for their shareholders by any legal means necessary , that is why they exist
Its the government that is fukking up by not looking out for their electorate
Should Tesla’s market cap hit a six-month average of $100 billion, it would trigger a tranche of 1.69 million options that Musk could purchase for $350.02 each. If, for example, he were to turn around and sell those shares at the stock’s Monday closing price of $798.75 each, Musk would profit around $758 million.
So, corporations don’t pay any taxes because they’re helping out states by hiring a large tax base.

All construction projects can resume as long as they comply with safety measures that will be included in the order, officials said, although details about those measures have not been released. Different sets of rules will be in place depending on the size of the project, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Real estate transactions can also resume, with limits on in-person viewings and open houses.
The outdoor businesses allowed to reopen to customers include flea markets, landscaping, gardening, car washes and nurseries, officials said. Restaurants and bars must still remain closed, even if they have outdoor seating.
Childcare facilities and summer camps for children of essential workers can likewise open, provided that they meet in groups of 12 children or fewer, and that the children stay within the same group each day.
And outdoor recreation like golf, tennis and skate parks, which had been banned last month, can resume, but sports that require person-to-person contact or shared equipment are still banned.
Where do you live? NYC?I know like 20 people (1passed)that got coronavirus is like 2 weeks. This dude is crazy. If they want to run production during this outbreak all CEOS should be required to be out there with the workers. See if they would risk it all for money.
