They just deserve it for a picking two liberal plagued locations. The clear decision should have been Miami due to the easy Latin America and Caribbean islands....
JeffBezos certainly you have a plan for the several generation artisan business your facility displaces. Please advise on how you plan to deal with that.
cabrerakid this is what I was talking about yesterday
They say you get what you pay for, in this case you got what you voted for.
I mean if Bezos wants to open a HQ2 in fucking British Columbia it’s his choice he created the company, if she wants to do something then create a company so you can do whatever you want lazy
Be careful what you ask for Jeff Bezos and the Washington Post. This it what you’ll wind up with.
NY elected this fool, now they’ve gotta live with her
Ah we have another paid puppet
What if she just discovered that her future congressional salary does not match up with the Amazon HQ salary when she has to go to DC to do her job?
Amazon will create 25,000 jobs in NYC. Don't blame them for your Govt not fixing the subway for years.
She’s right. Look at the Bay Area for a model of what happens when companies flood an area with money without having to compensate for the social cost. Mass displacement, insane property prices, and unfettered gentrification.
1.) This will bring in taxes through new jobs and consumer spending. 2.) If you’re still upset, pick a fight with the leadership that offers tax breaks, not the companies that accept tax breaks.
I love Democrat circular firing squads
Good, I was just told the amazon $15 Hr pay raise costed employees a cut in benefits?
Jeff Bezo will probably subsidize an condo for her in Washington to divert her attention.
This lady was already designated to win by the higher ups to bring some entertainment to NY. The trade war is getting boring and overused.
Instead of trying to forge a partnership with Amazon to help be a solid corporate citizen for Queens the hyperventilating starts. Very short sighted and a knee jerk reaction. Advocate for something positive to come out of this win.
What a joke.
Okay so Jeff bring it all to Virgina is and skip NYC. We will be happy to have it all.
Just because you won the seat doesn’t make you the smartest person in the room
Oh...her idiocy knows no bounds...
Well, there goes her constituents ability to pay rent
Be a man not a liberal and revoke the announcement. Other cities would welcome the opportunity. Liberals causing other liberals headaches 😂
Great! 90% of the operation and high paying jobs to Northern VA and have a 'Token' HQ2 in LI City!
I wish amazon would just say “OK, our bad. We’ll just take our 25,000 high-paying jobs somewhere else.”
There comes the Joker😆
I guess she is not too keen on the jobs it will bring?
If the government promised 50,000 jobs she would be orgasmic.
She'd know what's best for Queens citizens, from the expertise she no doubt has gathered from recently being elected for Staten Island and as a bartender and a server at a taqueria.
Truly dumber than a bag of rocks...
A Dem-Liberal Socialist kid. She doesn't know anything about life.
Why does the media keep giving this dumb woman so much media time? She has nothing to contribute except some comedy.
The problem w your crumbling subway system isn’t the fault of new businesses moving in but the mismanagement of the city...as it will always continue to be
She needs to be careful. Her seat on the Committee on Wackiness is now in jeopardy.
Young idiot
It’s a publicity stunt. Nothing more
Let’s goooooo
Cool, take it somewhere else then
Oh dear! AMZN HQ2 is going to gentrify her workers' paradise!
Picking fights with Bezo's and Pelosi, Smart.
Ok, I thought cities had to submit RFPs or the equivalent and go through a whole process with Amazon for consideration and further selection? Are we saying they did that and now don’t want it? Power-hungry individuals is all I see here.
She’s right about the subsidies, but buys otherwise
Careful what you wish for....
SHES TO STUPID TO EVEN UNDERSTAND THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE TAX INCENTIVES ARE EARNED BASED UPON CERTAIN 'MLESTONES' BY $AMZN SHE HAS AN IQ OF 5 AND THE MEDIA NEEDS TO STOP GIVING HER ATTENTION SHES A GLORIFIED STRIPPER NOTHING MORE
Headline should be woman with IQ of 8 takes on billionaire.
She is clearly dumb as hair. Kind of like most Democratic socialists.
Is she helping Nanny Pelosi to fight with everybody
Please don't bring those jobs here if youre not gonna pay taxes... I'd rather some other state guy those high paying jobs and we just leave that lot empty to employ no one... good thinking, beb
I am sure there are other locations clamoring to get more money and more jobs.
I lean heavy to the left and this is a stupid fight. 25K jobs.
I'm surprised Amazon even considered Queens cause of their crumbling subway...
I surely would like to know what Bezos thought when he found out he would have to discuss this great opportunity with this mental midget.
Young lady he's getting over 2 billion dollars from the cities, don''t blame him
She literally rabbles like our idiotic president... even if you nix the incentives and use that money for infrastructure, it still isn’t going to help the gentrification of the area.
NYC needs jobs and reason to keep folks. Blue States are losing people with Dem polices, like CA, ILLINOIS, CONN, NJ And New York! Many companies leaving the northeast. This is good news Alexandria!!! Why don’t you see that?
Only a socliaist would have a problem with company moving into a state with new private sector jobs! Yikes!
Mr. Bezos, apparently the brilliant economics student Cortez doesn’t want you to employ her constituents. I suggest you move select a place where people want to work.
Oh no you didn't Amazon in a battle with the new face of the DNC
JeffBezos it’s not too late to change your mind! Chicago is still the correct choice.
DOESNT SHE HAVE PAN HANDLING TO DO TO PAY HER RENT
Why? Why you make gentrify a beautiful slum in our beloved NYC Mr. Bezos? Keep Queens a Slum Again KQSA
What a stupid thing to do. She says that her community is demanding 'investments'. Here is an investment and yet it is being rejected. People need jobs badly. Not emotional politics.
Not sure if she's picking a fight with Bezo's. More like advocating for fairness (i.e. - paying their taxes) in the system.
