Patrick McCuistion at the Amazon Robotics Fulfillment Center in Nampa, Idaho, where he is a data and reporting analyst.Patrick McCuistion (business and economic analytics, ‘20) of Battle Ground, Washington, chose Boise State because of the well-balanced, high-caliber business college and affordable tuition. “I looked at 11 different colleges in California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho to find the best business program,” McCuistion said. “I landed firmly on Boise State.

With pawnshops, a strip club and plenty of houses nearby, Amazon is opening a distribution center in a not-so-typical spot for a newly built Southern Nevada warehouse. But with many people staying home all day and buying even more online than they did before the pandemic, the e-commerce giant is expanding its already-big footprint in the Las Vegas area with facilities that send products straight to customers. Amazon expects to open two so-called last-mile delivery centers in the valley this year, one in Henderson near the M Resort and another in North Las Vegas near Jerry’s Nugget casino, spokeswoman Lisa Campos confirmed to the Review-Journal. The company already has two such facilities in the region, one near retail-and-office complex Town Square Las Vegas and another in North Las Vegas less than 2 miles from Craig Ranch Regional Park, in addition to multiple, sprawling fulfillment centers. Like other industries, Southern Nevada’s…

Amazon’s relatively low corporate tax bills have generated much criticism from elected officials, including President Biden. Although Amazon has drawn the brunt of the recent ire, many companies across different sectors of the U.S. economy use tax laws to reduce or even zero out federal corporate tax. A sampling of companies that use the tax laws to full advantage is; food processing company Archer Daniels Midland, delivery services company FedEx, shoemaker Nike, customer relationship management (CRM) software provider Salesforce. All these companies are profitable and compete on the global stage. Laws are put in place to increase or decrease various activities and drive a specific behavior. What follows is the four key provisions of the tax law that companies use to reduce the corporate tax burden. I will discuss whether or not the law is driving behavior that is beneficial to the competitiveness of American companies, consumers, and the U.S.…
