It was all software and compliance jobs. Like you would expect at this point.

He's right, but it's already happened and been reported. Although it's still not evidence they're setting up shop in CVG.

Amazon's 'Consume the City' secret plan to replace FedEx and UPS - Business Insider

Here are other new details around Amazon's logistics plan, according to the report:
  • Amazon recently hired former Uber VP Tim Collins as VP of global logistics.
  • It recruited dozens of UPS and FedEx executives and hundreds of UPS employees in recent years.
  • Test trials for last-mile deliveries are running in big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami.
  • The company also experimented with a program called "I Have Space" to store Amazon's inventory in warehouses owned by other companies.

CVG has no room left to park that amount of airplanes. Perhaps there is another facility close by that could park maybe 70 or 80 wide bodies, dual runways, Cat III.....hmmmmm.

Believe it or not, I don't care.
They are taking over DHL America. It's so obvious.

I don't think Amazon is going to tie themselves down to any particular state or sort facility. Look at the airports we're flying between- ABE, SCK, DFW, etc. I see more of a direct route between East coast and West coast warehouses. But I am not a logistic expert so who knows? And it's my B-Day so I had a few...

However, even a cursory analysis of history and current events shows clearly that it is generally the left that is more pro labor.
I agree with the idea that both sides are to blame but I definitely disagree with your last sentence. If I were to use your own words here's my perception:

'A cursory analysis of history and current events shows clearly that the left, generally, is more pro-government and supports getting blue collar addicted to government programs and handouts.'

Or just use the enormous and available facilities 30 miles down the road.....
