Let me see if I can get this straight: Amazon decides against bringing 25,000 – 40,000 new jobs to New York (with an average salary of $150,000 annually), and New York congresschild Sandy Ocasio (as those who grew up and went to school with her in ritzy, wealthy, Westchester County know her) celebrates it as a great victory for “the people” of New York.
The Amazon site would have been adjacent to Congresschild Ocasio’s district, and 70% of New Yorkers were in favor of it according to the latest poll. One news report said that a major bone of contention was city politicians’ fierce opposition to Amazon’s role in cooperating with ICE in the enforcement of federal immigration laws.
Amazon executives must be very, very disappointed at missing out on an opportunity to move to a state where you can legally murder your baby during the act of birth, live in a tax hell, and have Chuck Schumer as your senator.
