Its almost like those politicians they elected after being promised everything under the sun & apparently getting zip, aren't the ones that set State & local tax rates. Like they're puppets w/ zero political power, but blame Bezos because its easier than looking in the mirror.
Laundry lady from Bangladesh in Astoria 'I wanted Amazon; my daughter just graduated college and I was hoping she doesn't have to move away to get a job'.
The 2 characters pictured should have protected Amazon's deal at all costs, the immeasurable contribution Amazon would have been responsible for in terms of community rejuvenation would have been far greater than the $3 billion proposed in tax incentives, blame the left radicals!
Thanks to AOC.... she didn’t want more jobs for her district
people politicians
It was doomed from the very beginning. Pandrew micromanaged the deal Pandrew hates transparency Pandrew claims recognition Pandrew isquick to blame others for failure Wether he likes it or not. Pandrew owns this. FUAC
And then this... but left is silent.
NYers aren't stupid. That's why.
Congrats. 25000 high paying jobs with great futures now head somewhere else, taking investment, income tax revenues, & economic spin with them. What exactly are New Yorkers celebrating?
Breaking Up Is Hard To Do- ask Neil Sedaka. Amazon should consider- with 'pending litigations', The Trump Tower may soon be on the auction block. They could buy it, offer their employees affordable housing. If you make it there (NY), you'll make it anywhere, maybe be a President.
Politics got in the way
~amazon~ as such—what an ‘empire’ at consumers’ expense—i cannot get passed his company not paying federal income tax and we minimum wagers are subject to 33% of our income—damn—i am getting angry—i might re-think my membership...(2)
~amazon~ amazon —no wondered they are a multi-billion dollars company—so let me understand their business model for consumers—they get prime membership subscribers fees—sales taxes and shipping fees—but no federal income taxes assessed.(1)
Mayor: 'ah ... ummm .... well ... actually that was what we planned .. '
Amazon is a monopoly and should be busted up just like AT&T was. Wal-Mart also. Time for taxpayers to stop subsidising billion dollar corporations.
A $2.5 billion campus that could house 25,000 higly paid workers, in addition to new offices. The job multiplier of at least .3 (very conservative) means another 7,500 jobs. All of these people paying numerous taxes. What city would want that? Don’t blame them at all.
We don’t need to “look into” AOC, DeBlasio, Cuomo screwed that for the people of NY! Enjoy your socialism, you voted for it!
I mean, really...could I get an answer to this question: why would any business want to build & work in a place with ridiculously high taxes? This seems easy...
No one should be above the law and make deals to circumvent paying taxes. This should be illegal.
Look at it
AOC the gift that keeps on giving to the Republicans 👍😂😂😂😂😂
Amazon “jilted” New York? Hmmm, it sounded like your lefty politicians let them know Amazon was UNWELCOME in no uncertain terms. So, it’s really New Yorkers’ own doing. And it’s certainly their choice, but throwing off on the company your people rejected is offensive.
The answer...an unintelligent freshman congresswoman AOC who casted a horrible shadow over the future of politics for the state of NY Showcasing socialist idealism not democractic as democracy welcomes companies like Amazon to provide jobs, income, growth, expenditure & tax $$
Sounds like political pressure from the top. No way Amazon would’ve backed down out of actual concern for public opinion on this.
Don’t think these two NY politicians have a future. People see what your all about and how you’ve tried to screw then over one last time. NYC crime is going up, Cuomo signing the new abortion law proves he has no empathy or conscience. His dad is rolling over in his grave.
'Musicals on the Stars' by David Louis Whitehead called biggest book project since James Baldwin!
nyc amazon aoc lic liberal business style
What bothered me most was the lack of unionization and how rising home prices and rent would squeeze out long time residents. Amazon needs to be a better neighbor if they want to be welcomed with open arms by people other than politicians.
Last sentence: “Why on earth after all of the effort we all put in would you simply walk away?” Sounds like New Yorkers would have created public relations nightmare for Amazon. Better opportunities elsewhere. I agree with NY not wanting to give those massive tax incentives. Wow!
AOC’s first big accomplishment – costing her area billions of dollars.
New York said: “👏🏽 Run👏🏽Me👏🏽My👏🏽Money👏🏽 Amazon responded: ...
Thank you, NYC. - DC and Northern Virginia
A lesson to be learned here. Backroom deals without transparency and input from the public is what caused this to fail. Cuomo and DeBlasio seem to think that they and they alone know what is good for the people. Little Caesar and his jester learned a bitter lesson!
Interesting how these Americans didn’t want to support an American Company with encouragement, but they are more than willing to pay multimillions for illegal alien non Americans.
These two idiots couldn't entice a 5 year old to open a corner lemonade stand
Hmmm. No mention of AOC. Sounds fishy.
They say that Valentine's Day is one of the days when most couples break up.
I'm proud of Amazon .
I wouldnt call it a breakup They just jilted NY and found a better soul mate NY loses 25k jobs after getting cuckolded by Amazon 😂
'Loose lips sink ships.'
Amazon demanding billions from taxpayers with no return
