You're entirely too biased to see this objectively. I guess you know more about what Amazon's needs are than Amazon itself, which has excluded Charlotte from consideration but is still considering Atlanta.
MARTA doesn't run so well to the airport it's like SEPTA which goes to PHL, it's there but not conveniently available for most people. Atlanta won't win, too southern for techies and not in a very gay friendly state.

So was Detroit. People have lost their mind when they mention Camden city for Amazon. Why not Lagos or Dhaka or Mexico city? The techies can eat tacos everyday.

Won an award? From who?

Still doesn't matter; Atlanta has the tech talent and Charlotte doesn't. Simple as that.

You probably don't realize it, but this a completely nonsensical statement.

Oriental huh? Yeah that says it all.

What do you mean MARTA doesn't run so well to the airport? I've ridden MARTA back and forth to the airport with absolutely zero issues. I bet you've never even set foot on a MARTA train. Tell me all about these issues that MARTA has on the line to the airport.

If Atlanta is "Too southern for techies," why does it have among the biggest tech talent pools of the candidate cities, hmmm? And the city is plenty gay-friendly.

Atlanta has a lot more techies and a bigger LGBT community than Charlotte, yet you're trying to convince everyone here that Charlotte should have been a finalist over Atlanta. In what universe does any of this make sense?

For the love of God, stop. Cease and desist.

"oriental? Talk about saying a lot. Seriously, "oriental"? In the U.S., in 2018?

Not that AMZN will necessarily select Newark, but hypothetically why would anyone presume they'd depend on a historically Italian-American neighborhood locked in on 3 sides by extensive train tracks and a 4th by a river? As if AMZN's incapable of figuring out required brains of all sorts of locals and newbies of varied ethnicities would find their way to potential AMZN buildings via train, bus, car, etc. And, find more diverse food than just Brazilian, Latino, Portuguese, etc. for millenial and other amazoids who might even venture into Ironbound.

What does that mean? Marta directly connects to the airport! Besides, you don't even know Marta exists.

Yes, it certainly is. For you. Especially since you have none.
