"...Speculation says Bezos will choose between Detroit and Pittsburgh. Each city has a well-developed airport, plus Detroit’s airport is a hub for is a hub for Delta. Detroit is near the University of Michigan and Michigan State...owing to the grand industrial past of each city, there are impressive museums and other cultural aspects that will appeal to the well-educated employee demographic Amazon seeks."
"What’s important politically is that each city is better known for its past compared to the present. Getting right to the point, each city brings to mind “rust belt.” Crucial here is that the arrival of Amazon in either would quickly erase “rust belt” from any modern description.

Good deed.
