Ocasio-Cortez celebrates Amazon scrapping NYC headquarters.
"U.S. House Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other New York politicians just chased off 25,000 Amazon jobs that could have created salaries of at least $115,000 jobs each. Unfazed and stunningly arrogant, these politicians are taking a victory lap following their dubious success.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York welcomed Amazon's decision to cancel plans for a new headquarters in Queens, saying it shows that everyday Americans "can have more say in this country than the richest man in the world."
CCN reported earlier today that Amazon had scrapped the spacious campus it had planned to build in Long Island City, Queens, which would have created roughly 25,000 well-paying jobs. The residual job creation was estimated to be an additional 67,000 jobs.
The cheers that followed Amazon’s decision to pull out of New York are misguided and troublesome. Too many politicians seem tone-deaf to traditional ideals, like job creation, in their relentless effort to denigrate anything related to big money."
I am thankful that Amazon will be building their east coast headquarters in Virginia with a hub in Nashville.

That's why I call her "La Loca"when I mentioned her on my posts here on RP. "la Loca" stands for crazy woman in Spanish. She has an economics or human relations degree from the University but yet her socialism totally throws out all she was taught in school. Econ 101, Finance 101, marketing 101, 200 and 300 are in the toilet now that she is a socialist.

LTC Stephen F. she will be dead on arrival. Watch her fly Lear Jets or bigger. I don't think she will take a train going from City to City. Even if she does, her Manifesto is similar in some respects to those of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski who hated modernism. She may say free college, free medical care and free money to those who don't want to work but that people will get mad and realize that people like this picture shouldn't be getting a living wage just to get high. She is beyond Loca!

SSgt Boyd Herrst he was being honest. I'm sure there are family members who come up with excuses for money and they don't want to admit that they have a drug or alcohol problem. At least this street person

They were estimating billions in tax revenue from Amazon in NY while she's making plans to raise taxes and spend more than they can raise.
Another Orwellian Communist is an idiot ™!

Cpl (Join to see) - Some are so sheltered from reality,i don't think they know how life is and believe that since everything was handed to them,not a big deal to hand off to anyone else. The notion that SOMEONE has to pay does not occur to them is unfathomable to them.

SSgt Terry P. Willful ignorance is not bliss. They do know, most of us shout the facts out at the tops of our lungs and they refuse to believe those facts and refuse to do real research. They choose to stay in their bubbled, echo chambers.

Cpl (Join to see) and SSgt Terry P. not only was New York State and City expecting significant tax revenue; but the state is also down a couple billion [expenditures/obligations exceed revenue]
