Are you now pretending that Amazon would have brought low quality jobs to New York, that's why you drove them away? It is reported the average compensation for the employees Amazon was planning to hire in New York would have been $150,000. This is what you drove away. Own it.
Also, Amazon invites Ocasio-Cortez for tour, calls worker claims untrue.
Look What You Did, @AOC
Hey @AOC, you did a victory lap after Amazon decided to pull out of their deal to build a new HQ2 in New York City. Let us review exactly what you're so proud of. Allow me to quote what NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote in NY Times yesterday:
Now you, @AOC, might tell your fan base that who cares Amazon pulled out of the New York deal as it wasn't going to help the minorities in the 'community,' so you were right to oppose it. Really?! Who exactly do you speak for? Your mayor says otherwise. Once again Bill de Blasio:
So @AOC, your mayor says the majority of New Yorkers supported the Amazon deal. Then who opposed it? Mayor Bill de Blasio knows the answer to that as well. He says it was a "small but vocal group of New Yorkers." I think he is talking about YOU, among others. Congratulations!!!
Apparently, Amazon didn't care about proving a "small but vocal group of New Yorkers" wrong. If the majority of New Yorkers, NYC Mayor and NY Governor cannot make a "small but vocal group of New Yorkers" see reason, to heck with it, Amazon said. Adios losers! Enjoy shiny @AOC.
The NY Governor and NYC Mayor argued that the public “investment” would pay huge dividends because Amazon promised to create 25,000 new jobs, many of them high-paying. But they forgot something.
Wages of Socialism
@AOC and her ilk have done incalculable harm to New York by pushing Amazon out. It's not just the jobs and economic growth that Amazon would have brought. This has also made it very hard, if not impossible for a while, to attract any other corporation to NY.
