NY's mayor, no fan of e-commerce, lobbies for Amazon's new headquarters

“I have never ordered from Amazon,” Bill De Blasio told the NY Post but, despite his preference for physical store shopping, New York's mayor is leading an effort to attract Amazon's second home base — and its estimated 50,000 jobs — to his town. Mr. De Blasio has not as of yet offered any firm commitment to provide Amazon with economic subsidies were they to choose the Big Apple.
