Since no one else has drawn this parallel yet, I thought I'd throw this out there:

With Nevada kicking in $750 million to build the Raiders a new stadium, NFL teams have now received nearly $7 billion in tax money to build stadiums over the last two decades.

Obviously it'd be nice if Amazon didn't require incentives, but given the other things that municipalities have thrown money at, this is far from the dumbest use of cash.

Which rules in the comment policy do you believe the comment violates? Comment is spam. Comment criticizes other individuals personally or with strong disrespect. Comment berates, belittles, or interrogates others or is name-calling. Comment questions another's intelligence or level of knowledge. Comment is talking about people's real-world identity.

Commenter is impersonating someone else or switching handles. Comment uses profanity or abusive language. Comment advocates violent acts or harm to another. Comment was posted in multiple areas of the site. Comment is arguing about a comment deletion or the comment policy.
