Amazon already has 1200 employees in Irvine, so why not the mothership?

Irvine Company’s Donald Bren offers ‘1-click’ proposal for Amazon HQ2 – Orange County Register

Meanwhile Huntington Beach and Long Beach team up to compete for Amazon 2 too -- wow.

I can tell ya why not:

The Bids Are In: Amazon Offered Up To $7 Billion In Tax Breaks ($140k Per Employee) For Second U.S. HQ | Zero Hedge

Plus the fact these guys are a Deep State child just like Google and Facebook. Amazon.com loses money of every retail transaction. Could it be a $600 million cloud computing contract with the CIA is keeping them afloat?

How long before they get broken up?
How long before the CIA realizes clouds aren't very secure?
How long before the Federal Reserve gets dissolved and they lose their deep state money?
How long before the drug-running CIA gets broken up?
How long before weirdo Bezos is implicated in some kind of super-degenerate sex scandal? They're in the movie biz now after all.

These guys are nothing but bad news for a small token of shopping convenience. Btw, people were happier in prior decades without the laziness-inducing convenience of modern times.

Far better to relocate those 1200 employees out-of-state. Everyone wins.

Yeah. All of the sudden you'll have people making 150k a year coming in? Theire gonna snap up everything available not to mention the rental market.Add another 20-30 hell 40% to existing prices. If you think people whine now about prices wait and see the river of tears filling up the Santa Ana riverbed.

Probably won't happen.

One thing Irvine does not have which probably disqualify it: An Eastern or Central time zone.
