So she was against Amazon before she was for Amazon?

Wonder how much $ they promised her? :laughing0301:
She was against taxpayers subsidizing Bezos to move his HQ to NY when the market already made it clear he was going to move HQ to NY anyway.....

Funny how you dic suckers cheer Trump when he so calls "stand up" to Bezos and Amazon, but get pissed at AOC for not bowing to Bezos?? Foh
 
Net loss of 23.500+ jobs is "winning" in Libnutland.
 
Let's run some rough numbers.................I'm sure some libtard will pic a nit.

Net loss of 23,500 jobs.
Est avg income of $75,000
NYC income tax 3.5%
NY State income tax 6.5%

Net income tax loss per year around $17,625,000

'WINNING"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was slammed on Friday night over what critics say is a "misleading" tweet touting a new report about Amazon bringing jobs to 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.

Ocasio-Cortez celebrated the news on Twitter.

"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," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Maybe the Trump admin should focus more on cutting public assistance to billionaires instead of poor families."

1500 jobs versus 25,000...….victory!!!
How much was New York going to have to pay for each of those 25k jobs, dope? Maybe you should go refresh your memory. :laugh:

they’re not paying a dime per job for those 1500 - to start, with more to come.

How much was New York going to have to pay for each of those 25k jobs

As in, writing a check to Amazon? Zero.
Oh, you’re going to be stupid?

The cost per employee from the $3 BILLION in subsidies New York WAS going to pay before AOC derailed it.

Like the disastrous $4.5B FoxConn deal that Scott Walker and Donald Trump put together. EACH job cost $219,000 in tax breaks and other incentives. Because they suck at business.

"The Amazon lease, which will accommodate more than 1,500 employees, is a far smaller footprint than the giant retailer was pledging with its second headquarters on Long Island."
And New York gets revenue and pays NOTHING. Instead of $3 Billion.

If you’re uninformed, just say you’re uninformed.
 
I look forward to her first term as POTUS in the near future.

LMFAO.

You leftists really don't understand what an "incentive" is, do ya?

Where do we find the part of Capitalism that allows the government to favor one company over another?
Yup. “Conservatives” just HATE the gummint picking winners and losers.

Until they don’t hate it.
