American Thinker:
When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez drove Amazon’s “second headquarters” out of New York City, the winner of the much publicized competition to host a multi-billion-dollar office project with many thousands of high-paying jobs was Arlington, Virginia, right across the river from Washington, D.C., where Amazon’s founder owns the local fishwrap, the Washington Post.
In return, Amazon planned to build a showy complex of buildings on a riverside plot of land that should be visible from many of the hottest tourist sites in the nation’s capital.
As usually is the case with expensive and showy real estate projects, glossy renderings of what the 2.8 million square feet of office towers (about the size of the Empire State Building) would look like were produced. There would be open green space: more
I don’t know, looks more like a giant stainless steel screw. Very appropriate.
Maybe it’s really a poop screw. Brown 25 anyone? If you get that you’re an old fart just like me.
I do geoff!
Bottom line: Don’t buy Amazon crap!
Nice to see that someone else remembers The Groove Tube from the mid 70’s.
They should bury Bezos under it. Today.
Tower of Babel material.
Remember how THAT worked out?
Are we being prepped for the turd world order?
I’ll take 1920’s skyscraper architecture any day. Gothic features, ornate detail. Glorious.
The author makes a good point. The CGI looks cool…but will it look like that in real life? Probably gonna be covered in bird crap and raccoon droppings.
Will homeless people take over the spiral strip surrounding the offices?
I’d camp there. Just for the hell of it. I’d bring a barbecue.
Will people throw frisbees off it or just themselves?
Lot of questions about the practicality of the poop screw in real life America.
Go to images. Put in “Tower of Babel”. There it is.
Left-handed pitch.
Go figure.
After this publicity Amazon will have a sale –
Everything one turd off!
Antifa, BLM and illegals will love the ‘shit’ out of it.
HQ number 2.
Life imitating shart.
Kamala Harris will try and sit on it. You know – for a good time.
After a cuddly evening of eating homemade fondue in front of the fire with my Petey B, that Amazon Tower looks exactly like what comes out the next morning right out of my unbleached elastic starfish!
Lots of folks seem to enjoy piling hate on Amazon. Why not cancel the Amazon account (and other accounts, too) and simply live life like it was in the before times? I did it. And guess what! My cow herd still eats 2 bales of grass hay per day. I still limit out on trout when I go fishing. Life goes on.
Turd Headquarters for a Turd Company run by Turds.
In the large cesspool of life the large chunks always float to the top
A well suited building from what I see.
Like 10 year dude said,don’t live
your life in the mindless vacuum of
the blue screen,boob tube and idiot phone.
Don’t be gorilla glue lady.Do something
with your hands.Feed a cow,catch a big powerful
fish,fix your car,repair an old tube radio,saw
a board,sew up a shirt for a child,hang out with
your buds and drink cold IPA and tell BS stories
and enjoy their crazy ass dogs.
Papertecture, as opposed to real architecture…
Looks like we found the asshole that used up all the toilet paper.
If it’s papertecture it’s nothing but a house of cards bound to fail and collapse in monumental fashion. It’s like building on sand rather than on solid rock, but what else is new for the cemocraps this is just another attempt to build on false promises and never ending utopian pipe dreams/schemes that always fail due to unintended consequences.
The tower should be named Nimrod!
So either we’re screwed or it’s a shit.
Fantastic. 😑
The architect was Tom Carvel. “You want sprinkles on that too?”
It’s going to raise the temperature of the town by 15 degrees and they’ll be saying, LOOK! Global warming!11!!!
It was either this or the Moloch skyscraper, which was deemed a little over the top…
