Amazon Bails Out of Downtown Seattle Due to Violent Crime Surge, Dodges Consequence of Woke Policies
< < Go Back
Amazon is getting out of Dodge. Well, more accurately, Seattle.
The massive, mostly online retailer announced recently that it’s relocating 1,800 employees out of a downtown Seattle location due to a huge uptick in violent crime.
“Given recent incidents near 3rd (Ave) and Pine (St), we’re providing employees currently at that location with alternative office space elsewhere,” an Amazon spokesman said, according to the New York Post. “We are hopeful that conditions will improve and that we will be able to bring employees back to this location when it is safe to do so.”
The Post noted that violent crime has rocked the city. In just the first week of March around the Amazon offices, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed, a homeless man was stabbed, and police had to shoot and kill a man who rammed into a federal building and fired a rifle.
Amazon has been only too eager to hop aboard woke causes, but the company seems a little less enthusiastic about woke consequences.
