What's the OU boards say about this? I'm sure most reasonable fans(fuck them anyways) would think this is stupid too.
They seem to be agreeing with Hager wholeheartedly.

1. Please let my Horns smoke Kansas, avenge ourselves against the hillbillies, and shock Jawjuh in the Sugar Bowl.*
2. Please let Iowa State get a shot at aggy in the Texas Bowl.
3. I’d like an F250, lots of money, and for Texas to sign some badass DL recruits.

Bill in Sinton is so mad at you at this moment.

My prediction is they will get dinged by politicians for this political stunt in order to extract money from Long Island (1.5 billion) and northern Virginia (only 750 million) and that is not just a prediction but also an argument. And the basis is that people will recognize it as such. A political stunt to extract money they don’t need.
Apparently you disagree and think this was a wise move by them. Care to articulate why?
As for the monopoly aspect, no they are not technically legally one. As if that really matters to politicians.
Since we're just making predictions, I doubt they'll get dinged by politicians here. We and by default our politicians have short memories. If they feel like a regulation is coming their way, they'll just use some of the 2 billion they received to buy those politicians off and hence a wise move. These politicians can be bought for pennies on thousands of dollars.
But let it be noted that I hate cities offering corporate welfare to these companies, we should all band together and ask them to fuck off. They have no choice but to invest somewhere in the US.

In the US.
And like I told you in my previous post, I’m not talking about a legal definition. I’m talking about political reality.
Can you understand the difference? Was AT&T a monopoly?
No, they aren't a monopoly in the US by any stretch. If you think so, show me how and show me in what business segment. You won't be able to because you're wrong.
If all your argument is they'll get dinged because some politicians are mad so watchout Amazon then that's a prediction not an argument.
AT&T was infact a monopoly which is why it got broken up.

Monopoly. You ever heard of that? Ask ma bell. Railroads. Microsoft, etc.
and spare me your legal arguments. I’m talking about political reality here. Amazon fucked up here. Sticking their butt in DC isn’t gonna change that.,
Where are they a monopoly?

This whole clever charade by Amazon is gonna backfire. They just used a whole bunch of cities and states, got their data and then pissed them off because the end result was now revealed to be inevitable. It was always just what DC and New York area sucker was gonna offer them to buttfuck them the most. 1.5 billion? Spin that one.
Not a good long term strategy by Bezos. In fact they really fucked this up. Regulations coming.
Oh well.
Regulate them on the basis of what? They aren't a monopoly and even if they were it would have to be detrimental to the consumer which they aren't. In fact, they're exactly the opposite.
No judge will sign off on doing anything after looking at the facts.

I for one am happy that they bolted on Dallas but had they chosen Dallas the math would've been in their favor.
Amazon promises to create 50,000 jobs. Let's say half of them are "new" residents and choose to live in the Dallas county:
25,000 X (250,000 home) LOL at the price but let's be conservative: $6,250,000,000
Property taxes on those $6.25 billion dollars: $6.25 X 0.03 = $187.5 million in property taxes alone. Plus their secondary economic benefits are going to be incredibly impactful given that average salary for those employees is supposed to be somewhere around $150,000.
I'm not in favor of offering tax incentives to these giant immensely successful companies and I wish ALL our cities would band together and decline to offer any but if they did it would be profitable for them.

Not sure if was another analyst I saw interviewed or if it was him, but I believe his was the original that I read. The underlying business case looked pretty awful.
I mean yeah, their revenues last year were 30 billion and expenses were 50 billion.
Unsustainable.

Is no one buying FB on here? At 140 something its under 18 next year's P/E, above average growth next year on the top line AND bottom line, no debt, $41 billion in cash AND they are unofficially doing buybacks.
If you have a six month horizon, its basically free money.
