They lost out on 25K potential new jobs, real estate money and everything that comes when a good business opens up locally.

Amazon should just go down South where they’ll be appreciated and welcomed with open arms.

Already causing friction between AOC and the liberal guv. This is the road the Dems will go down to lose the next election...I'm counting on it.

big news and lost jobs for them especially considering automation will be eating a lot of jobs in the next 10-20 years

this is solid stuff .... AOC thought NY State had $3B they were handing to Amazon to come to NYC :) so she's been going off on what else they can use that $3B for...


https://www.dailywire.com/news/43525/ocasio-cortez-displays-her-economics-genius-once-hank-berrien

the idiotic claim from Ocasio-Cortez that New York had given away $3 billion by letting Amazon come to New York, and thus could use that money to hire teachers and fix the subway. She had said:
You know, I think it’s really important that we understand that we need to invest in our economy, but we need to invest in our people, and to give away $3 billion to a company that has a history of worker exploitation that’s paying below what the cost of New York City is not acceptable for us. We need to have good jobs, and they need to come to the table as in — you know, any company that wants to come to New York needs to come to the table as an equal partner, and you look at how Google came to New York; it was not nearly as controversial as this, and I think it’s because of, they were willing to work with local communities.

She continued:
What’s great is that our economy, our local economy, is already growing. So I firmly believe that if we want to take that $3 billion dollars that we were willing to give to Amazon and invest it in our local community, we can do that. We can make those jobs. We can make 25,000 jobs. But we don’t have to give away and allow our subway system to crumble so that Amazon essentially owns a part of New York City. We can create 25,000 jobs with Mom-and-Pops; we can create 25,ooo jobs with companies that are willing to come to the table, but we should not be giving away our infrastructure, our subway system, our schools, our teachers' salaries, our firefighters' budgets, to a company that has not shown good faith to New Yorkers. And we can ask for more because we deserve more."


What Ocasio-Cortez apparently doesn’t or won’t understand is that there is no $3 billion out there that New York could spend; it was simply $3 billion in unpaid taxes from which Amazon would have benefited by staying in New York.

Hows that working out in Seattle? Try not to step on any of the homeless as you traverse the city

She seems like an idiot but to the far left she's "the one that was promised."


I want her taken out. All of a sudden we have these Somalis and Iranians and ugly
Not real folk in Congress ... shouldn’t be allowed. White males only

She shouldn't let a little thing like that stop her.
