Even if there is a 0.1% chance it makes sense for the city to bid. And there is a chance that a smaller city will be chosen for affordability and other reasons. There are many comparatively small American cities that have major HQs, and wherever Amazon goes they will have to hire talent internationally.
Wedgie is a bit of a know-it-all and often comes across as a jackass with his continual bikes-are-good, cars-are bad rhetoric. He a close pal of Mason though, which partly explains the excess of unused bike lanes we are saddled with.
