“I was really sad to see so many, in the days following the announcement, saying, ‘We’ve had enough. Let’s take a breather. Let them move on.’ I can’t tell you how differently I feel about that,” she said. “This announcement should serve as a wakeup call for this city. We can’t take our prosperity for granted.”
“In an age where cities and states are starved for resources, often times these efforts at economic development, the costs of tax breaks for the city, will far outweigh whatever benefits come from the?number of jobs created,” Margaret O’Mara, a University of Washington professor specializing in urban history, told GeekWire this past September.
“I think Seattle needs to hold steadfast and they need to continue to invest in their citizens,” Evans said. “Every city should really be appalled by what’s happening because you never know when you’re going to be in a position that you may have to increase taxes to pay for some sort of city service.”
“Any meaningful review of that decision reveals egregious errors on nearly every evaluation factor, from ignoring the unique strengths of AWS’s proposal, to overlooking clear failures in Microsoft’s proposal to meet JEDI’s technical requirements, to deviating altogether from DoD’s own evaluation criteria to give a false sense of parity between the two offerors,” the complaint says. “These fundamental errors alone require reversal.”
“Amazon is so customer-oriented they will seemingly bend over backward to get packages to the customer on time,” one?rider said. “But it’s not them that’s bending over backward. It’s the messengers.”

“I hope we can benefit from cultural and technological exchanges between the two cities,” Zeng said. “We hope to attract innovative companies from Austin to look for opportunities in Chengdu. I am sure Austin and SXSW will give us a lot of inspiration.”
“If you think something is important, and you think nobody else is going to do it, then it’s a useful thing to do,” Bezos tells Wired. ?He also notes that humans are a “short-sighted species” and the clock is a way to highlight the importance of long-term thinking.
“In the last 40 years, in terms of hardware, we have achieved a lot with all the infrastructure and high-rise buildings. The next 40 years, though, is going to be more about software, including institutions building, establishing greater rule of law, legal governance, more efficient government, tax reform and a range of issues like that.”
“If you were a successful, sophisticated big manufacturing company and you wanted electricity in your plant, you had an electric generator in the basement. That’s how you got electricity. It really didn’t take long. It took 20 or 30 years before there were two things — independent power producers and then first regional and then a national electric grid. And, in a relative short period of time, the entire paradigm of how electricity got delivered was turned on its head. And now you can actually see that we have some pictures of these electric generators sitting in museums. It seems kind of quaint, and it is almost a hard story for me to wrap my head around: ‘Well, of course people aren’t going to generate their own electricity.’ Well, that’s what they did, and these things are now in museums. If you think about it, it just doesn’t make sense for an insurance company to be generating its own electricity.
