Caleb Hammer explains to a liberal guest that Amazon already pays taxes for public infrastructure after she argued the company should fund road improvements instead of the city. Caleb: Dude, you’re broken. Guest: What is it, please? Caleb: Okay, get your point. Get your point. Guest: So, very specifically, there’s an Amazon warehouse, and I just saw a Walmart one right next to it the other day built off of a two-lane road. But that traffic now… Caleb: Crazy. Guest: …that two-lane road wouldn’t be a problem if Amazon wasn’t there. Caleb: That’s the city’s responsibility! Guest: It should be Amazon’s responsibility. Caleb: To pay for public… Guest: Because that two-lane road wouldn’t be a problem if Amazon wasn’t there. Caleb: That’s actually impressive. I’ve never witnessed someone so far left that they’re actually advocating for degrowth policies. I’ve never seen someone in real life advocate for a degrowth policy. That’s one of the most impressive things I’ve ever heard in my life. Guest: I’m not saying not build them. I’m saying they need to put the infrastructure around them so it doesn’t negatively affect… Caleb: Why is it the warehouse’s responsibility? It’s the city. Guest: They’re building in rural areas where this two-lane road is an issue. Caleb: So New York City, we want them to add more housing so people can afford more, right? Guest: Yes. Caleb: Should it be the people who build the housing’s fault to add an extra lane to the highway because more people are moving in? Guest: They should have some sort of responsibility in it. Caleb: They pay taxes. Property taxes, which those warehouses certainly do, and income taxes paid to the state and redistributed to the city. It’s your city’s fault for not allocating the resources properly. Advocate for that. Caleb: Girl, there’s lots of things I can complain about Amazon for. Some of the working conditions with heat, that was bad. You and me can be on the same page for that. But you went and advocated for a degrowth policy. That’s one of the most insane things I’ve ever heard in my life. Guest: I’m not saying they should be fully responsible, but they should… Caleb: They’re paying taxes. They’re paying taxes for that infrastructure. If the city decides not to upgrade it, that’s on the city. Vote for someone different.
