[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5227615, member: 58386"] You still won't answer the question. WHY did the richest man on the planet need public assistance in building his building.? Putting the city and state's credit rating on the line for the richest man in the world? A single level lower in it's bond rating would cost the city and state far more in debt service and interest payments than Bezos could even begin to offset .and wasn't about to run the risk of higher borrowing costs just so that Bezos didn't have to Obviously you never thought about that. So again it comes to the question: 25,000 jobs in a city of 8,400,000 people. So what's in it for the other 8,375,000?Divorcing his wife just so that he could marry his long time gold digging mistress might have made securing his own conventional financing to put up the building himself a bit less easy but still plenty available..... After the Foxcomm in Wisconsin and Trump Casino debacles in New Jersey, the city and state of New York had every right and legal obligation to place safeguards in place to protect the public interest. And another thing you're overlooking. Bezos could have just as easily raised the money through a secondary stock offering. So you tell me....Why didn't he do it? [/QUOTE]
