    Why do you think they're moving in? How much of an effect on NYC's unemployment will it have? Will Amazon ultimately stay there?

    Surely AOC or somebody can stop this outrage.

    1500 jobs vs 25,000 AOC stopped. Somehow I bet she tries to take credit for the 1500 that won't even touch her district, Just watch.
    If she is reelected in her district then the people of NY deserve her, but damn the rest of us don't.

    Those jobs will not benefit NYC. Everyone knows government jobs (paid for by taxpayers) are the true source of growth and prosperity.

    1 year ago = Amazon wants 2 billion dollars to create 750 jobs (the 20,000 claim is complete BS, they were only adding 750), AOC and others say "why are we paying Amazon 2 billion dollars?" Amazon says no then. Right wingers here - AOC cost NY 20,000 jobs, what an asshat!!

    Today = Amazon is getting nothing from Gov't and is adding 1,500 jobs. Right wingers here - but but but its not the exact same place that wold have cost 2 billion dollars.

    Hahaha

    It’s ok. A lot of people don’t understand tax incentives. A 6:1 ROI with the investment not even being cash or borrowed capital really doesn’t seem like a good deal, does it?
