'Not welcome here': Amazon faces growing resistance to its second home

As cities vie to host second campus, local activists say the 'Hunger Games'-style competition is a bad deal for everyone - except Amazon

What do you get for the man who has everything? When it comes to Jeff Bezos - the richest man in the world with around $130bn to his name - many US cities competing to host Amazon's second headquarters have an answer: billions of dollars in tax incentives.

That proposition has united an ideologically diverse group of dissenters to Amazon's grand HQ2 competition, ranging from rightwing organizations linked to the Koch brothers to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Groups and individuals that would normally agree only to mutual disdain and distrust have somehow come around to the same conclusion: that Amazon's decision to pit 20 cities against each other in a fight to host a future hub is a bad deal for everyone except Amazon.
