Вы игнорируете, что 25000 рабочих мест за 10 лет это бла-бла-бла без всяких гарантий.
Why AOC Was Right About HQ2 Over the past decade, we have seen this scenario play out time and time again: A corporation promises to deliver X amount of jobs and Y amount of investment, cities and states provide massive tax incentives to do so, and the corporation fails to deliver. Even American giants like Intel, IBM, and—you guessed it—Amazon have failed to live up to their promised job creation and investment in the past, despite incentivization from local and state governments. (For Amazon specifically, the opening of new locations does not lead to increases in private-sector employment.) Corporations love to tout outrageous figures for what kind of investment they can bring to a new region, but they almost never meet those expectations. For that reason alone, governments shouldn't be so eager to craft one-sided agreements with corporations, who can choose to observe or ignore them as they please. While in the case of Amazon's initial New York deal, the failure to deliver promised jobs would have halted the financial incentives the corporation would have received from the government, it wouldn't restore the time, effort, resources, or money already invested in the project. Likewise, without all of the 25,000 jobs over ten years that was originally negotiated for (or the possible 15,000 expanded employment opportunities beyond 2028, which Amazon erroneously publicized), outlook on the deal would no doubt have shifted. Look at it this way: Amazon is only being offered such enormous tax credits because of their equally enormous obligations in job creation and investment. If employment growth would have slowed below the agreed-upon threshold after 2023, for example, the company still would have collected five years’’ worth of benefits. It is likely the city and state would have negotiated for more-modest tax credits, had the number of jobs promised been lowered to a number that the corporation would be more likely to fill.
