And yeah. The amazon thing is bad deal for New York, but they’re desperate and willing to pay for a headcount to keep the Ponzi scheme going. Nothing new. But it will be great theater to watch the lunatic left go after the limousine liberals. Bezos just finished a street fight in downtown Seattle with the loony left, yes? And bezos won?

The other Pinko that has it right is Bernie Sanders. Sub par wages for Amazon warehouse workers are then supplemented by Food Stamps or other taxpayer handouts. The real reason the mega rich tend to be more socialist than, lets say the owner of a plumbing supply company or someone who delivers drywall, is that they get supported on every level by the state and it's taxpayers, from trade treaties, to sports stadiums to even supplementing shit income. (or as Trump is right in pointing out having taxpayers pony up the loss the USPS has for each Amazon package delivered with their agreement with the USPS)
And Bezos is not going to be looking for Machine Learning and AI people from within NYC, he is going to bring them in from elsewhere, why? Because Machine Learning and AI are fluffy words that are really coded for "we are not going to hire some people" or "we are going to H1B the shit out of this." Tech people fully capable of learning AI concepts will be shut out as unqualified.
You are truly correct. Much to think about.
Funny story, I do investigations now for a "Foundation" that touts the benefits of certain agricultural products for background checks on new hires. I have figured out a way to navigate the verification of India's education system and as far as I know I am the only person in the US who is able or willing to do this. Why willing? Because if you hire a person with a fake degree in AI from India it is the liability of the faker but it is one of the few legit ways to get an H1B very fast since it can be proven that not many people know AI or Machine learning, so they hire people who also do not, but for a lot less.
