I don't know why this has become such the public spectacle these days. Has it always been so public with companies basically doing a city lottery with their headquarters? It just seems sort of silly, but I understand they're just trying to squeeze every ounce of concessions from the state/city they ultimately choose.

20 finalists? Are they a 5-star DT?

How are they trending on 247 crystal ball picks?

Nope. It’s either going to be DC or Northern Virginia.

No. This is Amazon just pitting cities against each other. When Boeing moved from Seattle to Chicago it was a pretty big deal within business circles but it was not a public spectacle. It was also done pretty quietly.

Apple is currently planning to build their new campus, very similar to what Amazon is doing, and they aren't making it a public bid war.

Memphis isn't on the list but would have made a hell of a lot of sense

It's just a private bidding war.

That makes the most sense. Everything is shipped through that monster of an airport.
