Amazon's Political Problems
Not only was Amazon's effort to back pro-business candidates for the Seattle City Council not effective, but its $1.45 million in contribution seems to have backfired on the company, energizing its opponents and leading to a new City Council that's collectively more to the left of the political spectrum than before.
It's the latest in a series of political and policy missteps and missed opportunities for the company, from HQ2 to JEDI.
Also this week: Bill Gates and Elizabeth Warren on taxes; a Microsoft study shows the potential benefits of a shorter work week for productivity; an epic Seattle Sounders rap from a GeekWire reader; and Cortana is ready to "play" your email for you, but are you ready for her to do that?
