Read my answer again. I said people are not unhappy about Amazon moving here (after all, they already have offices here), but for the large subsidies Cuomo conceded to them.

The questions on that survey don't mention any thing about subsidies... period.

Change it to: "Do you believe Amazon should be given 3B subsidies to come to NYC?" and the replies will look very different...


Since you asked: “nobody is denying that a large company creating jobs, is a bad thing”

I think you meant that “nobody is asserting that a large company creating jobs, is a bad thing”


Yikes, was that really necessary? Have you never been wrong on the internet before?

What's the point of being so condescending to people? This is not a constructive way to correct someone.


It's not as much a correction than it is a response to a general trend of HN commenters making incorrect assertions while remaining unassailably confident in their opinions and their moral superiority on several issues. In general, confident wrong people grind my gears a lot, especially when it comes to issues that it's common to get preachy about, like "big business", "billionaires", etc.
