Maybe they shouldn't have framed the contest as finding "a city that is excited to work with us and where our customers, employees, and the community can all benefit", but rather a purely financial and strategic decision that would take their analysts less than a day to wrap up.

None of those things have anything to do with "innovation, imagination, and daring".

Maybe it's too much to ask a company to embody its professed values in every aspect of its operations.
