Amazon cancels plans to build headquarters in New York

[Moonglow]

Ocasio-Cortez takes a victory lap after Amazon scraps plans to build in New York

She just chased Amazon out of New York with some 25,000 jobs along with it.

Nice going.

Venezuel......er.......um.......New York has a bright future.

It was a shit deal in the first place.

Blind squirrel finds an acorn.

/——/ democRATs spent decades screeching We need to create good high paying tech jobs... but not for New York.

Amazon is not a high tech job unless they have the hovering forklifts now..Then is only a mild-tech job.

WRONG....Amazon has used technology in the acquisition sales and shipping of goods all over the globe...they have revolutionized how we shop...it would make your head spin if you saw what they are working on now....

Yeah those CPU nerds are busting their balls for Jeff..I only did anti-armor missile system, radars, generators, industrial maint.you know all the easy stuff...

Who cares, now it's NO-tech for NYC.

The jobs were being subsidized by an absurd amount of taxpayer money....They're better off without Amazon.

Very true, although those 25,000 employees wouldn't have cared.

Yeah, well you think that the taxpayers -who are already getting gouged to hell- would mind at all?

I bet they might I am sure it is as exciting as a Walmart warehouse job...Now they are building the world headquarters down the road in Bentonville where corporate headquarters is..

Add Cuomo to the growing number of Democrats who hate the Socialist Princes.




The Democratic Party is tearing itself apart - Cuomo is attacking AOC while she and Warren are celebrating driving Amazon away.

I love it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

She should chase a few more businesses out of New York.

Give her time, she's only been in office a month...

What taxpayer money? Amazon would have simply gotten a tax break without NY taxpayers paying anymore or less. In fact, NY taxpayers would have gotten a tax break, too, since not only would 25, 000 more people been paying taxes, but all the local businesses would also have been paying more taxes. The loss of Amazon represents a net loss for NY, and clearly shows that crazies like Ocasio-Cortez have no interest in helping anyone but themselves.

I agree, it was a terrible deal, a gimmick to redistribute wealth. If it were a straight deal without the nonsense, the area would have benefited.

Huh? If you're a nobody business NYC is giving tax incentives, 10 years if not mistaken. You don't feel Amazon got an amazing deal?

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Fuck Amazon.


Amazon, which doubled its profits and made more than $11 billion in 2018, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row...

The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million...

/—-/ And you also say fuck you to the 25,000 lost jobs who would be paying income tax, property tax and sales tax - you imbecile

Amazon was being exempted from $3 billion of taxes as part of the deal. Minimum wage workers would not be able to make that up. Each of them would have to pay $12 million in taxes for New York to come out even.

Imbecile.

How can you call anyone an imbecile when you cannot do basic math? Want to try it again? LOL

It was a great deal for both Amazon and NY. Amazon got great tax breaks and NY got not only tens of thousands of new jobs, but increased tax revenues from all the people who work there and from the local businesses.

Sigh...
The agreement comes with a number of incentives: Specifically, Amazon will receive $897 million from the city’s Relocation and Employment Assistance Program (REAP) and $386 million from the Industrial & Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP). It will receive an additional $505 million in a capital grant and $1.2 billion in “Excelsior” credits if its job creation goals are met. That brings the total amount of public funds granted to $2.988 billion—in other words, the city and state will pay Amazon $48,000 per job.

Amazon could also earn even more tax breaks separate from the city and state subsidies.

Why the hell they would have ever even considered a tax hellhole in the first place like New York is beyond me.
