HQ2

Schrijven is zoals ademen. Je stopt er nooit mee, tenzij je dood bent, zei Rik Torfs ooit. CNN was de eerste -louter in html- newsletter waarop ik via het toenmalige makke-mikkige-inbelmodem-world-wide-web een abonnement zonder cookie-gedoe nam. Nu dikke dertig jaar later ... nog steeds op de eerste rij, net zoals de start van elke 90s Golf-oorlog!

Amazon cancels plans to build New York headquarters
Amazon is ditching its plans to build a new headquarters in New York after facing backlash from members of the community.
"After much thought and deliberation, we've decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens," Jodi Seth, an Amazon spokeswoman, said in a statement.
Amazon selected New York City and Northern Virginia in November to split duty as its second headquarters (nicknamed HQ2) after a year-long search. Each city was expected to have more than 25,000 workers over time.

Jammer for the City waar het telkens niet recht in de roos is of rozengeur en maneschijn op Valentijn. De Long Island locatie was anderzijds wel perfect gekozen en leende zich uitermate voor dit mega-project.
