Ocasio-Cortez: 'Won't you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway'

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) slammed Amazon's announcement that it's building a headquarters in New York City, but touted the fact that it will not receive any financial incentives from the local or state government.

“Won’t you look at that: Amazon is coming to NYC anyway - *without* requiring the public to finance shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways,” she tweeted.

“Maybe the Trump admin should focus more on cutting public assistance to billionaires instead of poor families.”

She's so adorable thinking she beat Amazon.

No surprise Tam supports AOC. Like Bernie, she is a liar and a fraud, built on a foundation of stupidity, much like Tammy.

[eatliftskate]

So she sacrificed 25k jobs for her local community in exchange for 1,500 jobs in Manhattan now? Sounds like a huge win.

And she didn’t “save the public billions.”
I don’t think she understands there was no 3 billion to begin with

She is such a smug little simpleton

[scooterbrah]

no issue with stopping the financial handout to amazon months ago

just weird to be taking a victory lap for 1500 jobs instead of the originally planned 25,000

Can't you say that about basically everyone spearheading your country right now?

You can dislike AOC or any politician for that matter but it is jokes that Amazon is going to build a headquarters in NYC anyways. Important certainly have the power to negotiate. It's actually an interesting case study.

No and we disagree. AOC had no influence on Amazon this time. Amazon had no negotiations with AOC involved. So, what is the case?

[chaunce54]

lol, she didn't "save the public billions" either. In fact, she more likely lost millions...

[cashinout]

things Amazon will now do:

- pay a lease that is pocket change to them
- employ 1,500 privileged Manhattaners

things Amazon will not do:

- build a new HQ in a lower-income neighborhood and provide jobs to lower-income people
- employ thousands during development
- pay development and property tax and all the other chit NY taxes you when you build and own
- have an investment in the community that comes with owning property there

but sure, total win other than that

Another failed thread by Tammy.....what a shocker.

She cost her district 25 thousand jobs, and she sees that as a victory.

[Retoaded]

strong comprehension of events, OP. You and AOC are a good fit.

[wickedman]

Jesus, I'm so stupid. I read OP's post and was about to own up to belittling her being an idiot. But what do you know, Lefty misrepresenting the truth again.

[scheal]

Don’t hurt tammys feelings. A communist like Tammy will take any win she can right now

I won't bother quoting all the rest that show what a terrible fail this was.






Low IQ Canadian Tammy strikes again.

A communist creating even one job is a victory

[TrueTruth]

AOC should also get a credit for building New York City from scratch. She time traveled and was a captain of Columbus' ship when they discovered America, she built all those skyscrapers and infrastructure all by herself.

Because this is the only reason why Amazon or anyone is ever "coming back" - because it's New York fuking City. Every business wants to be in the most popular city in the world with the highest population.

How about you try to get Amazon to move to some small town in upstate New York with that attitude.

AOC blasted for 'misleading' tweet taking 'victory lap' over new Amazon jobs in New York City

Last summer, Ocasio-Cortez waged war against Amazon after the retail giant struck a deal with the state of New York to open a second headquarters in New York City, which would have brought 25,000 jobs to the city, in exchange for $3 billion in state and local subsidies. Ultimately, Amazon backed out of the deal.

However, it was reported Friday that Amazon was leasing a 335,000-square-foot office space in Manhattan that is set to bring more than 1,500 jobs into the city.

I don't know who's dumber, AOC or the people who support her.

Lol @ sacrificing 25000 jobs for 1500 outside of your district and thinking that's a win.

Right? I can't even...

That moment when you can literally feel the weight of stupidity crushing you.

[IronRooster2]

Jeff lost, and now you're saying Amazon is Santa Claus, trying to "make jobs" that aren't going to bring it a profit? Just lying about numbers that never were and never could be?

lol, what's wrong with you guys. Just take the L and move on. Jesus christ lol.

No one bats a thousand, you're only hurting yourselves with this "benevolent real-life Santa Claus" nonsense.

No surprise Tam supports AOC. Like Bernie, she is a liar and a fraud, built on a foundation of stupidity, much like Tammy.

Why did Jeff Bezos deserve $3 billion of other people's money?

You can't explain why can you. You can only call people names. That's not going to work once TV stops being the #1 "news" source. Sorry.

You'll have to lick Vince McMahon's boot all on your own, you won't be able to force the rest of us to do it against our will.
