them both.cant recall how many economists i listened to were outraged that the richest man in the world is getting 3 billion in corporate welfare when the 3rd world subways in new york are left to hell.
its not really a free market is it when we give corporations money to come into town?
they have to go somewhere.

So now they have the money to fix the subways?
.
no and they made it worse giving it away to amazon.
jeff bezos doesnt believe in free markets, hes in bed with the deep state, and plays cities of each other for corporate welfare.

It don't matter if Clyde Suckfinger is against it or not. If a few powerful people want it they get it. Look at Minnesota's new $1.3 + BILLION dollar stadium. Nobody outside of the Twin Cities wanted it--especially if it was going to be built right downtown where there is NO parking available to begin with (exactly where they built it). And let us not forget the argument that we could play better football if we had a new stadium. We all saw how that is working out..

But they haven't given anything to Amazon. Amazon isn't coming.

Exactly. I think I'm going to move to Canada like all those Hollywood people did when Trump was elected.

I agree. They should be playing outside using the old style leather helmets with no face guard.
If I hadn't quit after 11 years and gotten rehired it would have gone better. Doesn't excuse what they did, and they hurt a lot of people. But I made a mistake quitting. A lot of people do fine in our system getting the right education and skills to do better. There's no easy way out for most of us, only hard work and perseverance. Guaranteeing everyone a good life will ultimately insure most a miserable life.

Ziggy the owner would move them over night if he was offered enough. It wouldn't be the first time a Mn. sports team left town practically in the middle of the night. (Lakers-North Stars)
Like others on here you seem to think of yourself as a "conservative". You know, low taxes,deregulation non government interference free enterprise etc. But you seem completely willing to put public dollars at risk in order to back a capitalist venture whose outcome is in no way certain or guaranteed. A more complex but still a form of socialism where the losses are socialized but the profits privatized which is exactly what we did with the investment banks, merchant banks, the car makers, etc.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I’d say what you are describing is a free market.

Really? 70% is a super majority.
