Dear Mr. Bezos,

 

Have I got a deal for you: turn Washington DC into Amazon’s HQ2.

 

After all, as smart lobbyists all know, DC can be had for cheap – wicked cheap. 

 

From Quincy Quarry’s media brethren at The Washington Post comes perhaps the best snarky proposal for finding a home for Amazon’s proposed HQ2.

Granted, Mr. Bezos is the current owner of The Washington Post; however, such does the preclude the possibility that the author of this brilliant proposal could well soon find himself looking for a new job.

 

The basic proposal is not to set up shop somewhere in the 75 percent of the District of Columbia owned by the public.

Rather, it is to provide whatever Amazon needs from the 25 percent of Washington DC that is controlled by the federal government – 9,683 acres, to be exact.

 

After all, given that under the Trump administration that the federal government in Washington has ceased to function, it would thus surely be a much more productive use of the feds’ real estate if it were turned over to Amazon.
