Not many corporations I know of get a deal brokered by the mayor and governor privately with multibillion dollar cut after a large spectacle. I realize you might think differently as an Amazon employee.

My status as an Amazon employee is irrelevant, and I don't think the circumstantial ad hominem really brings anything to the discussion.

The grants are all based on the size of the deal, and the reason this one was so large is because the number of employees was so large.

Are you aware that there are existing tax programs in NYC, and that most of the money "given" to Amazon came from those existing programs that are available to anyone who qualify?
