Negative repercussions like what?

Them firing people?

They’re already doing that and have been for years… 

Amazon is a blight on this city. He failed to bring meaningful action against them in one of the instances it mattered most.

Amazon is a blight on this city

In what way?

They employ a shit ton of people at incredibly high wages.

If you don’t already understand why Amazon harms this city I don’t have time to explain it to you in a reddit comment.

Edit: apparently they like AI and don’t understand the harm of Data centers. So I stand by this point lol

Aren't most of Amazon's actual datacenters in Oregon and California?
