Yes, having jobs and generating revenue is just so horrible. Can't figure out why anyone would want that.

Geez, I'd always thought talking about it here on CD would make all the difference in the world. Isn't that why you are here so much as well?

But by all means keep screaming like a lunatic on the internet over something all major players will ignore you on.
Major players? What does this even mean? I didn't know I was here trying to impress "the major players." Weirdo.

Yes it is no big deal that GE didn't chose NYC because NYC has a number of other companies headquartered here, as well as a number of companies with major operations here. As a city's whose economy is based on finance, media, tourism, tech/social/new media there was completely no reason for GE to be here, as listed by Crain's magazine. According to Crain GE wanted to be in a city that had many more biotech companies, something that NYC doesn't really have.
Okay, so isn't this pretty much what was being discussed before you jumped in here telling us we're making a big deal about it? Meanwhile here you are now repeating what was said already.
I know how big of an ego you have, so unless you have anything relevant to say on this topic, I'm not going to continue this bitchiness (which you seem to like) with you and I'll let you have the last word, which I know is what you crave. LOL.

I agree here with you. I will also rep you on this. Nyc is not loosing anything with the departure of general Electric from the region
Besides tech startup, Nyc is not a tech research center or tech based compared to places like Bay area, Seattle, Boston and pockets of Texas. Nyc is clearly represented in finance, insurance. Real estate banking, and media. Ge made a wish choice by going to Boston.
Then the question is at what point in recent history did NYC become unfriendly enough for businesses to avoid if not outright leave? This was not the case 3-4 years ago when large real estate transactions were announced, when Jet Blue said it would move to LIC, and prior to that Etsy launched in Brooklyn, Google opened a large office, Pineterest, Zygna, Salesforce etc. What changed over the last 3 years?
Zynga's home office is in the Pacific Northwest
