Where do the $10 billion AMZN bucks go? Do any at all go to MS public coffers? The construction will be done by provate companies, components bought from private companies. How about electricity and water? Do those costs go to publicly owned infrastructure? What about the land, surely it’s leased but is it owned by the state of MS? If it’s just a $10 billion expenditure from Amazon to other corporations and hedge funds it’s pretty worthless to the general public, and giving corporate welfare instead of cOMpEtiNG iN ThE fReE MArkET makes it actively harmful to the public good. How many people with potentially groundbreaking ideas will continue to be wage slaves because their state has no grant money to help them start a business? How many children will continue the cycle of poverty (working for Amazon in this case, probably) because their municipality doesn’t have fully staffed schools to help them learn to think critically and guide them to scholarships etc.?
