“But three months of sustained opposition from state and local officials, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., finally drove Amazon to cancel its plan to build a new campus in Long Island City, across the East River from Manhattan — and put an end to potentially 25,000 jobs the move might have brought to New York City.”
““If you talk to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it’s ‘Never Amazon,’” Seth said.”
With this well THOUGHT out, reasoned argument against her you have convinced me. Yep, SHE’S a real childish moron that doesn’t know what SHE’S talking about.
lol - The point was never that she along with local reps did not also voice concerns about the deal in it’s present form.
What you and Cuomo(although he named no one) are making up is that she and others were acting in “their” own interest somehow and not acting on behalf of the people that already live in that area who had concerns about the deal that they wanted addressed.
Now if you live in the area or have some sort of stake in this then please explain it, otherwise it looks like you are just throwing stones at one woman because… AOC.
But I love how you are a champion now for Cuomo and Seth from Amazon. lol
I like in Kirkland, Seattle rocks because of Amazon and has made this one of the most desirable cities to live in for job opportunities.
What is failed to recognize is the other businesses that move in because of Amazon is located here it would have been the same in NYC. Take Amazon and Microsoft out of Seattle and there would be an exodus leave.
