New Yorkers Begin to Understand Socialism After AOC Chases Away Amazon

[Timmy]

How is not meeting AMAZONS bribery demands a form of socialism?

Amazon didn't demand anything. However, not living up to the agreements made with Amazon is not socialism, true. It's simply stupid.

I find it amusing that there are some trying to equate a state's attempt to entice economic growth into their state as some kind of socialism when in fact, it is an open and capitalistic thing to do. NY was in competition with other states, and open competition is the definition of capitalism.

THEY DEMANDED SPECIAL TREATMENT! It was a national shakedown. Screw them .

 

[Timmy]

What is Capitalism?

You have something I want, I have something you want, we trade each other for it.

Amazon had something the New York wanted; Jobs.

New York wanted what Amazon had and Amazon wanted a better business environment for their jobs. They were ready to trade with the State who made the best offer.

It does NOT get more capitalistic than that.

Free market means the laws apply to everyone. Amazon was about kickbacks .

Little start ups do not bring thousands of jobs to a locality. There are likely dozens of breaks to the little guys anyway. There are always enterprise zones.

Amazon is going to do that anyway . You are rewarding them for nothing. They ain’t building a new HQ out of the goodness of their black hearts .

Why isn’t amazon building their HQ there?

It's not.

Yes, they're really that stupid.

No, its the definition of governments competing. Capitalism is about private owners competing. When the government starts orchestrating things, that's socialism.

This is why we're flailing headlong into socialism. You dimwits don't even see it coming - you're even cheering it on.

 

[dblack]

OMG! GOVERNMENT SAYING IT WILL BE LESS OF A BURDEN ON BUSINESSESS!!!

That's not what they're saying. They're saying they'll give one business a break if that business does what the state wants. The rest of the businesses in the state have to pay their taxes as usual.
