Your home State acts the same way every year in Harrisburg, but they get a pass? That's pure BS, and over the top entitlement.

Atlanta doesn't make the laws, though. And the corporations here don't make the laws, either. Bible thumpin' McKoon makes the laws.

Amazon's senator would be David Perdue. I mean, enough said.

We don't really deserve Amazon, as a state. Would be nice to be pleasantly surprised, but I am not keeping my hopes up.

Well since they included Pennsylvania as a "bad" state but made an exception for Pittsburg and Philadelphia, it doesn't take much creativity to find a plot to promote certain areas at the expense of others.

There's a good argument that the winner of this sweepstakes will be the biggest loser. From that perspective, Atlanta doesn't deserve Amazon.

Who deserves it? How can you represent the entire state and say that a state doesn't deserve something? Do horses deserve grass to eat? Do fish deserve water?

Fish deserve water. States that vote some of these clowns that represent us into office, deserve for progressive west coast expanding tech companies to see somewhere else as a better fit.

So California should get it even though they have a law that states that that you can only throw a frisbee at the beach in LA County if you get the lifeguards permission? So Northern Va shouldn't get it either because they have a state law that states that single people cant have sex?

I live here and have been here for decades, so your attempt to deflect is just silly.


Are you seriously denying how f'd up the GA legislature is? If we were comparing to say, Indiana, you would have a point, or other Southern states that have been aggressive in fighting culture wars, but several states in the remaining bids are not on the same level as Georgia or Texas in terms of pushing the regressive cultural crap.

What state has great legislature?

Was there a question about a "great legislature?"
