Bewitched9 I am not a huge Progressive, but I agree with the natives - they do not want their neighborhood to turn into San Francisco, where the working class was priced out of 'affordable' housing. Moreover, when that happened in SF, the homeless population exploded.
advertisingdiva Oh yeah. Victory. You just cost the state 15k jobs, not to mention jobs to support those 15k. aoc this is not a good thing.
NYers who voted for her just helped southern and western states populate more. They have to accept the higher taxes being brought upon them when the population decreases.
I am a “progressive” but I am baffled as to what there is to celebrate. NYC just threw away 25,000 high paying jobs. Isn’t that what we elected these people to bring to us. Seems like they did the opposite here
This is basically what happened. Why do people still listen to AOC... she’s a fool
! NY IS A DEMOCRAT EMBARRASSMENT SAME AS CALIFORNIA PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE A REPUBLICAN IN OFFICE AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE
Progressive Democrat. That’s just a locution for “economically clueless”.
She wants everyone to get free money free food, no one needs to work, we can just plant trees.
Amazing that extreme left Cortez claims victory for eliminating jobs and commerce.
The people in New York got what they voted for. Wonder how many other large companies will cancel plans for moving there or move to another state
Well done AOC Newyork and many screwed
The two clumsy pols snuck it through without bringing the city council in on the approval discussions. Cuomo and DeBlasio blew it. They’re to blame.

What victory?
No it isn't. If you scream 'Fuck Amazon!' On Broadway right now people will cheer. And no one's gonna fault someone for trying to make it work before Amazon's increasing demands. (Before their anti union requests.)
They really like minimum wage jobs or want free stuff from govt.
What is most disturbing? (1) This women statements and the bad it did to NY? or (2) The fact that the people injured by it actually voted for her?
Cuomo and DeBozio out maneuvered by AOC
They mist have been getting a cut
New Yorkers are eating their own. How dare they turn their nose up at the rest of the country.
That is a clear sign that the new generation of Democrats are prevailing
Democrat incompetence and stupidity in full display for all to see. Camera-loving Chuckie SenSchumer is nowhere to be seen! NYGovCuomo NYCMayor AOC DNC MikeBloomberg SpeakerPelosi realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr GOPChairwoman TuckerCarlson SenGillibrand
unions - keeping people from working so their bosses can stay rich, once again.
Watching the Democrats implode in 2020 is gonna be pure comedy & entertainment! It's two years away and it's already like watching ISIS vs the Taliban! They are already backstabbing each other! MAGA Trump2020
Would love for Chicago to get a second look. Can’t see any reason why amazon wouldn’t take residence in an ideal location for business!!
Idiots
I would love to see AOC's college transcripts because, for one w/an economics degree, she has a fundamental lack of understanding of economics! She is the modern-day Lenin - a 'revolutionary' 'activist' seeking 2 overthrow capitalism & replace it w/socialism. RedDeath sad
25000 jobs. AOC made NYC lost 25000 new jobs. Let that sink in. This is her view of a socialist world, no one gets ahead, we all will be equally poor..
She didn’t want it because it would change her constituents wealth and status.
It’s not a victory for NYC to lose 25,000 reliable low skill jobs with benefits, which there increasingly is a shortage of in NYC.
Abbott needs to step up here. Texas should be the second location if one is actually needed. Amazon made a political decision not a business decision throughout this entire process.
ancestor, and former U.S. Representative from New York, Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. is smiling today. 😀
Socialists
I will never recognize Socialism. ♀️
Lots of anti-socialists complaining that taxpayers money wasn't used to subsidize a company. Funny.
Gotta love it when running jobs away is considered a victory - so glad Amazon gave them a big FU! LOL
Let’s see what’s next on the chopping block for the BronxNitwit
WOW a victory...really! If losing 25k jobs and let’s say each was paid 50k/yr avg that could have been 1.3 BILLION a yr in sustainable NEW revenue. Something in the name “progressive” democratic seems way outta wack here. Sign “woulda-coulda-shoulda” 🤪
MULTIPLE business LEASES WERE LOST TO PURE STUPIDITY NYGovCuomo NYCMayor SpeakerPelosi AOC
SO AOC LET 25k JOBS GO! good job that could of saved 25K folks lives
Well, now they can use that $3B they saved on other things! What's that? They can't? That's not how this works? Uh oh. Someone tell the lady with the economics degree.
The irony is in all this is residents complaining about how it might have driven up the costs.I got news for you, this is NYC, the capitalism capital of the world. Majority of the people move here coz of these companies being here else it would just be another tier II city.
Short term thinking...
How can anyone claim victory? To those who say to divert the $3 billion to other more deserving needs, the money was coming from increased economic activity. Without Amazon there is on increased activity & NO MONEY. Fools gold!
How many businesses closed in NYC because Amazon? Small bookstores never got help from the government, why Amazon should get something that they don't need?
New York can just raise taxes on the wealthy to create jobs according to AOC. Forget people with a work ethic.
As someone who lives in Seattle I’ll tell you.... You don’t want amazon in your back yard.
This is the shot that will be heard throughout the TriState area, not just Queens.
You want jobs? We want living wage jobs. We want good corporate neighbors..😐
Someone please take AOC aside and give her a crash course in economics! Her thoughtless ramblings may have cost thousands of jobs and millions of eventual revenue for the area.
Came together to give a billionaire and his wealthy company tax breaks. Cool. Amazon totally needs those breaks.
Dems lost 25k+ jobs and even said the $3B in tax incentives for Amazon can be used to fix NYC infra... Yes, Dems are that dopey. All those small businesses that would have benefitted too should be angry.
They cost their community 27,000 jobs.
Never thought I would see a politician calibrate the loss of 25,000 jobs...Socialism stupidity! NY BETTER GET RID OF HER AT THE NEXT ELECTION!!
Short sighted
THEY STUPID ..........AMAZON PAYS $15 PER HOUR ......THEY JUST TOOK MONEY OUT PEOPLE MOUTHS ......SHE IS THE STOPPER OF WEALTH ....IM NOT FEELING HER VIBES
Thats what you get for supporting rabid dogs.
The dictator spoke. She gets what she wants.
Anyone who votes for a politician who actively campaigned to stop 25,000 well paid jobs is a bloody idiot.
The title and descriptor 'progressive' is ideologically loaded & misleading.
Idiots
She wants another Venezuela
Not sure this is indeed a victory!
