One thought on “Amazon’s belt-tightening affects towns across United States

  1. May I presume every city, every underpaid employee, every unemployed person, every government agency was waiting for Amazon to open a distribution center to open to ease the pain of the economy?

    Makes one go: Hmmm.

    I do find it difficult to criticize Amazon’s “belt tightening”–not to be confused with unfair labor practices, under paying employees–when in fact that should be more widely practiced among entities and individuals who are feeling the strain/pain.
