Re: 3/5.

We already have ways to turn corporate money into community services. They're called taxes. I'd much rather we as as a community take Amazon's money and build our own schools rather than have Amazon build an Amazon Education Facility and thank them for their time.

Yes. I've been trying very hard to figure out what purpose it serves aside from good PR. On the bright side, I suspect Amazon's standard for facilities they're willing to associate with their brand is higher than that of the NY government.
