Article doesn't say they have a 'big problem'. Just the headline does.

Article says they 'still need to recruit' the best and brightest engineers. Well, sure. And that's probably why they are continuing to invest in NYC [[and elsewhere). They just aren't putting a single, very large investment into a city where the politicians didn't deliver what THEY promised to Amazon.

Both NYC and Amazon will be just fine here. Just media drama.

I believe that Detroit could flirt with businesses like Amazon if the bidders get rid of the Must hire 51% of Detroiters concept and focus on companies hiring people from the tri county area

Where bureaucrats and politicians display their arrogance, businesses look elsewhere. Yes.

You want jobs. Stop trying. Just get out of my way, as my friend John always says.

Good to see you're still being your typical hypocrite self. Care to comment on the actual realities of the Foxconn deal, or just here to troll?
