Feeding the selfish delusions of other Democrats at the expense of other people's freedoms. No matter. Amazon will find a much more accommodating location and New York will accommodate by raising taxes… Consequences AmazonHQ2 TheDemocrats

States where people want to work and have dignity want Amazon! Green New Deal author Cow-Fart Cortez and other supporters can support the New York bums protesting in New York against Amazon.
LegalMediaWire NYS 14;Population 691,000.558,000 eligible voters. AOC won PRIMARY with 17,000 votes out of 240,000 registered Dems. AOC won GENERAL with a total of 100,000 votes out of 558,000 possible votes. Elected by voter Apathy !
A multi-billion dollar business can support itself. That it asked for corporate welfare, especially when you considered they made record profits and paid ZERO taxes, is wild.
That's 'unemployed left wing.'
Or, you know, people who didn't want to be priced out of their neighborhood. Is that a left-wing thing?
NYC lost probably Memphis gain. Clearly Amazon has been building their on delivery infrastructure. Logically next level of growth would be acquire planes and trucks worldwide from Fedex. Don’t reinvent wheel , you acquire it.
Good....
Amazing politicians who can't balance a checkbook making these terrible decisions....
Amazon is completely capable of affording moving anywhere, including NYC, without billions in tax brakes.
'Hey, we'll take those 25.000 jobs!' -- everyplace else in the world.
Too bad for NY. But I can’t say I didn’t see it coming!
Amazon should looks other place rather then NY. NY doesn’t deserve jobs. NY is unlucky.
The title of this article is so whack a doodle I’m definitely not interested.

I bet Detroit would give Amazon a hell of a deal. They could use thousands of jobs.
OR: How a widely supported economic development plan was thwarted by a small, unrepresentative group of Leftist activists calling themselves 'Progressives'.
thwarted Amazon
Must have been the unable or unwilling to work crowd...nice work🙄
Doubtful
Is that because they don't want to work.
Next time borrow money from a bank and build your HQ. See? No subsidies needed.
If anything, Amazon should have been paying for the privilege of expanding its campus in one of the most sought-after cities in the world.
A better world would be one where Amazon paid its fair share of taxes. I think Bezos could still afford the WaPo.
Amazon just has plans they are not big NYC plans just plans and now those plans will happen somewhere else. What happened here is about 100 loud voices shuttered a deal for 8.6 million New Yorkers that's all. Amazon will thrive and survive elsewhere
If the left wants to stifle and hinder business growth who will have the money for them to tax for their ludicrous GreenNewDeal
Stopping Amazon from coming here isn’t “progressive”. Amazon isn’t closing — you just moved the jobs away. Low income residents of queens who could have benefitted are harmed by this pull out.
It is the state's ability to create tax receipt shortfalls that scared Amazon off. The were glad they had this mini mob to blame it on.
Would be nice to see Amazon move into a city that has been devastated by layoffs & industry moves & actually build it up instead of cause chaos & out of control real estate prices.
Bezos, Bezos....karma sucks.
My home in Seattle has doubled in value in 5 years. They are terrible for the economy and do not want them...
AOC killing her own city.
123,000 jobs.....
That’s the amazon mind you the champion of America’s Overexposed Communist AOC

LOL take those jobs and shove ‘em
Good work AOC !!
