Losing 25,000 high paying jobs, and tens of billions in additional tax revenues to the city and state. And people are celebrating? Validated Amazon’s decision.

Curious to see how much NYCCouncil has given away in tax incentives to “affordable” luxury developers, and how it compares to the 3 billion amazon deal that would’ve brought 20K new jobs to the city and then tell me our leadership aren’t corrupt and lining their pockets! 🤔😏👌🏼

The TrumpTaxScam will keep Billions of Feferal Tax Dollars in the EmperorOfCapitalism's pockets Now, that same Trillionaire Emperor, which reportedly will pay zero taxes for 2018 BTW, want to Muscle more TaxBreaks & Free Real Estate from the State Because it can't afford it?.

NY AOC is cheering the loss of good paying jobs and increased business for small business in the area. This is a sample of the socialist political class has planned for the United States Total control.

Hallelujah!

Wish amazon would pay there share of taxes....a disgrace

Liberals believe NY won that fight. I believe Amazon won - in the end, they would not have wanted to exist in such a State; and NY lost big revenue.

God has different plans for those who take there destiny in there own hands. Now let's watch God's hand deal his deck

Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.

One big troll.

Oops....

way to go AOC & other progressives - give your own voters and economic screw job - nice!

Progressives score a great deal for NY! 😂

To paraphrase, 'Amazon Shrugged.'

And Atlas shrugged Sure who needs 50k jobs? 70% wanted this, so what really happened here ?

In case you were wondering what a neo liberal was

4everNeverTrump Good, build it in a different place.

Hopefully this is part of a broader backlash against Amazon and its parasitic relationship w/ our economy.

I assume AOC means well, but please, stop ruining our future. Listen to the impartial scholars & economists. No one said it would be easy but AmazonHQ2 will be a huge boost to NYC’s economy on the macro level. Take us back JeffBezos, most of us are rationally thinking adults

Great move by Amazon

Thanks to the Governor

AOC 👆

This is why an electoral college exists.

Dayton, Ohio, would welcome Amazon with open arms.

“I am pleased plans to bring the Amazon River into New York have been cancelled...”

Loony liberal tax rates are a turnoff for a loony liberal multi billion dollar company.

Hahahahaha, socialists fail once again.

Glad Amazon came to its senses and sees the reality of dealing with these losers. The policies that the ProgLibSocDems promote will eventually destroy the city I grew up in and the State I call home.

Please please choose Newark. THE CITY, STATE AND ITS RESIDENTS DESPARATELY NEED YOUR COMPANY SND REVITIZATION.

Crazy a bunch of socialists killed jobs for everyone. Who's next?

Because NY is a socialist state

Probably has to do with its forecasts likely drastically effected by the rising tide of controversies Jeff is getting increasingly embroiled in, from opposition, Trump, ex-wife, personal pics! 🙄

yay aoc et all!!

New York City doesn't want or need jobs.

$AMZN slaps NY politicians with iron hands

Come on down to Nashville....

Wow

Good for $AMZN bad for NYC

Ah ,The end result of a pending divorce of its CEO. Making diBlasio and Cuomo look like poor negotiators.

good, if you want handouts that smaller business can't get then leave

wpro Good they only screwed themselves meaning New York City

Good. There should be no government subsidies for a corporation that’s worth over $800 billion. Or any business for that matter.

Queens is not part of NYC of the future. We need to build a new city and leave Queens behind.

I think I hear a BIG sucking sound of jobs that WERE going to Lib Dem NYC now heading somewhere that appreciates well paying jobs....WELL DONE!

The world economy is 'slowing down' but it could be worsen if the entire world go like those sad old days. These academic old school professors and scholars prepared to avoid that horrible day. Just keep the city clean for now is smart.

Amazon should buy Trump Tower!

CONservative wastes of DNA will try to spin this to blame AOC.

Just another case of “just a few voices” making the decision for everyone. ☹️

AOC ?

The thing is New York never wanted Amazon there but a lot of other cities that could have used the jobs and such did and got turned down. Now nobody gets it.

Guess socialism hitting too close to home

Thanks to AOC hopefully she can come up with 25,000 jobs

How New York handled this whole thing expressed in one GIF.

Now that NYC has lost 25K jobs and the attendant benefits, what are the naysayers going to do now? They wanted both the political 'fame' that came from their objections, but did not want to lose the jobs and money. Seems like you can't have the best of both world, huh?

Pretty telling how Amazon cut and run at the first sign of resistance to their wanting corporate welfare. A mega business not wanting to negotiate? They will go somewhere where the locals will roll over nqa. Looks like they were going to be a terrible tenant down the road.

amazon we have plenty of land in AlbanyGeorgia and we need new businesses to come! Plus we buy a lot on amazonprime

New York elected Ocasio-Cortez. Bill de Blasio, being a socialist himself, looks like a phony when he pursued Amazon’s deal. They basically got what they voted for. ✌️

Damn...all those folks who thought they were smart snatching up the residential real estate in the area..DOH!

After all that....

Many NY Politicians object to paying billions for jobs but not to the high tax, high cost & high spending programs they pass tht require such to be competitive.
