Can someone explain how having 10-12k workers in NoVA influences regulators more than spending millions on lobbying...which Amazon already does..



If those regulators spouses, friends, family, children, etc all work at Amazon it could make them think twice before making decisions that could hurt Amazon.


An increasing number of decision makers will have family and friends that work there, which is a difficult bias to ignore even when acknowledged.
