Facing opposition, Amazon reconsiders NY headquarters location.

[the other mike]

In the face of widespread and impassioned opposition from local politicians, progressive members of Congress, and ordinary New Yorkers, Amazon is reportedly having second thoughts about its plan to locate a second headquarters site in Long Island City.

"Can everyday people come together and effectively organize against creeping overreach of one of the world's biggest corporations? Yes, they can," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) declared on Friday in response to the news, which was met with glee by advocacy groups that have opposed the New York government's deal with Amazon since it was unveiled in November.

"Bye, don't let the door hit you on your way out," wrote the North Brooklyn branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), echoing a sentiment that was shared across social media.

This story is at https://www.washingtonpost.com/ also, but I refuse to pay for online news to a gazillionaire like WaPo owner-Bezos.

Well AOC's "green deal" includes taking care of people who just don't want to work, so why would these folks want a new employer in the neighborhood?

Amazon`s hostility towards unions isn`t going over so well in NY.

That was a close call. 25,000 people almost got jobs. Good thing there are Democrat watch dogs like Occasional Cortex to stop that kind of stuff.

right, protect the 1% of lazy people and say fk off to the 99% that wish to work. That is socialism 101. I still can't figure out how the 1% keeps winning these little city elections.
