Smart of Amazon to announce this and trigger a race to the bottom as cities fall over themselves to offer land, tax breaks and other incentives.
Then take whichever one you feel is best and save a ton of $$$$.
Given how much Amazon is on the forefront of automation, I'd bet folding money that the 50k jobs never actually materialize, and instead becomes 5-10k. Leaving the 'winning' city holding the bag and looking stupid.
