While I'm not happy that Cortez got her way I'm very happy that Cuomo didn't. | |||

She may have got "her way", but I'm quite sure she hasn't a clue what "her way" got her.  __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

Amen. NYC was a stupid stupid choice but everyone that I know was happy that Austin was not chosen. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

Way back when it was announced that New York had made the list of possible places for Amazon's new headquarters, I commented that they were in the running, right behind Fallujah and the moon. Glad to see I wasn't wrong after all.  _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Forty years ago if AOC had crossed someone in NY named Cuomo she'd be sleeping with the fishes. Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

That trashed a lot of real estate deals. Property in the area was selling like mad at ridiculous prices- Now What? That's gonna leave a scar. ____________________________________________________ The butcher with the sharpest knife has the warmest heart. | |||

LOL as these NY commies all turn on each other! Cuomo slams Ocasio-Cortez, others, as Amazon ditches New York | |||
|
Get on the fifty! |
I see folks turning on that air head once they realize she cost them 25,000 jobs "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

Not NYC invited, nay, offered big bucks for Amazon to come to their little slice of heaven. Occasional-Cortex and her band of freeloaders didn't beat Bezos, they beat the morons that offered Amazon huge incentives to come to NYC. Bezos is too busy getting busy with his new main squeeze, hunting down rogue journalists and trying to economize now that he is down to his last $50 billion. Frankly my dear Alexa, he don't give damn. He has 18 other cities ready to drop their drawers for HQ1.5. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

There are folks in the area whose rent was jacked up already by landlords taking advantage of the anticipated competition for housing. It really sucks for them but they’ll still keep voting for the same people so perhaps to some extent they deserve it. | |||

Screw Cuomo. No matter what else, the look on his face was priceless. Elections have consequences. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

I saw that Amazon has dropped the idea for a second HQ altogether now. | |||

She and many others actually believe NYC saved 3 billion dollars by this decision. How do you not understand what "tax incentive" means? | |||

I think you have to get an economics degree from a liberal university! AOC said she wants the $2.7 billion that Amazon is not getting to be used fixing the existing subway system. She doesn't connect that to the $27 billion in taxes that Amazon was going generate..... ---------------------------------------------------- Dances with Crabgrass | |||

Like any good communist, i see this kind of stunt by her as a shake down for funds, political, personal, appointments and jobs for friends. | |||

safe & sound |
Not that I agree with anything she says, but how many billions in taxes has Amazon cost us? As far as I'm concerned her and Amazon are in the same boat of things that are bad for this nation. | |||

https://www.cnet.com/news/amaz...eps-hq2-in-virginia/ Amazon: "We do not intend to reopen the HQ2 search at this time," Amazon said Thursday. "We will proceed as planned in Northern Virginia and Nashville, and we will continue to hire and grow across our 17 corporate offices and tech hubs in the US and Canada." | |||

Not sure what you are getting at. Are you talking about Amazon not collecting sales tax in some areas? Or are you talking about the tax cost of Amazon driving out small businesses? Or are you talking about the so-called low wages not being high enough and that the employer payroll taxes on those earners being artificially depressed? Or is it some form of all of that. I would hazard a guess that amazons payroll taxes, sales taxes are massive generators compared to any percieved loss. | |||
