Re: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hails Amazon's possible pullout from NYC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez applauded news on Friday that Amazon is reportedly reconsidering its plans to build a second headquarters in New York City as it faces fierce opposition from some state and city officials.
 Quoting: keybored


Greedy, power-hungry, unethical Limousine-liberal Jeff Bezos versus greedy, power-hungry, unethical Champagne Socialist Ocasio-Cortez.

The two sides deserve each other.

Unfortunately she's struck a chord in the Millenial Left. Unless they find something truly horrendous in a scandal, it is unlikely she will fade out. Notice whenever she starts to cycle out she opens her mouth for something new and it begins all over again.

Worst case scenario is instead of her disappearing, she's drowning out by a crowd of like voices in coming years.

How's that for nightmare fodder?

Re: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hails Amazon's possible pullout from NYC
The idiotic leftist Ocasio-Cortez and her supporters in this particular cause may have a sliver of correctness on their side - almost by default - since Jeff Bezos, who supported greedy, devious, unethical Hillary Clinton in 2016, is a tricky, wily, Washington-Post-owning-loving, low-integrity person. He probably pulled a lot of Clinton-Foundation-pay-to-play-type levers with other Hillary-loving people in New York City/State government to get his sweetheart deal.

 Quoting: 3643297


Why don't they create new jobs?

You know it is possible for anyone to start their own business.

Didn't bezos start off from his garage?

What's stopping new yorkers from being more enterprising and starting their own online retailers to compete? Or other businesses?

Seems kind of counterproductive to wait for a rich guy to come in and create jobs rather than taking it into your own hands.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668


LOL so someone simply starts a business in the confines of nyc ?
even this bs w/amazon-exactly WHAT deals were made regarding CITY and STATE taxation ? sales tax ? labor laws,UNIONS , etc ?
why was a site in LIC chosen over say FL,NH other states FREE FROM sales tax ?

Probably.

In the meantime, most everyone in conversations occurring in mixed/open company, avoid saying "liberal/leftist/leftwing" because we don't want to embarrass or offend anyone.

We're like people at a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous and no wants to say anything about booze, drunkenness and DUI violations when driving.

This is what I like most about living in rural areas. Not enough of them around and we don't care about any of that tomfoolery. If you work hard and treat people right, it doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom (so long as it doesn't end up on the police report in the local paper) or what your skin color is. Pretty simple standard that I've had a lot of people that come through wish for.

We also don't dance around topics. Might apologize for stating it one way or another but it is usually acceptable because there are so many ways to describe things.

People just need to be more honest about themselves and others when it comes to politics/ideology.

If you're a liberal/leftist, say so.

If you're a conservative/rightist, say so.

As for moderate or "centrist?" Since the middle-ground of the political spectrum has shifted left over the past 40 years, that's mainly a case of closeted liberalism.

Enough with all the "shhh, don't bring up politics during dinner" Miss-Manners way of thinking. That has made it easier for the foolishness and inhumanity of liberalism/leftism to get an upper hand.

No, people, your left-leaning biases do not reflect a good heart. Well, maybe it does if the heart is similar to Count Dracula's.

Why does she care? Bezos is a fellow traveler. Maybe she can suck his wee wee for some money.

As much as I can't stand Bezobub, Amazon is a great online retailer. They have a great product and often, though not always, have the best price and delivery.

What tax revenue? Amazon is getting something like $3 billion in tax breaks to settle in New York. That's what she's complaining about.

Re: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hails Amazon's possible pullout from NYC
She's a stereotypical Millennial (sorry, Millennials). She thinks she's smarter than everyone else, and she starts a job and instantly thinks she should be running the place and can just step in at the top without having having to work her way up. And yet, she sounds like an idiot when she actually opens her mouth, and she has an annoying voice to boot. Narcissistic, social media-obsessed, surface over substance. Also lacking in social skills, since she doesn't seem to understand having to work with others.

That said, I also abhor Bezos and Amazon. And I lived in one of the cities that Amazon was considering, and I didn't want Amazon to come where I lived. It was going to bring in 50,000 employees (plus their spouses, families, cars, etc.). Most of the jobs sounded like they'd be filled from outside and weren't jobs for locals. Besides crowding an already overloaded infrastructure, that would instantly fuck up already fucked up housing costs and supply. Bezos also wanted his people situated within walking distance of downtown amenities -- ok for a big city like NYC, not good in a smaller city with limited real estate options. On top of all that, Bezos also wanted tax incentives, which my city thankfully wasn't willing to promise.

Sure, it could create local jobs, if you mean serving people coffee while being priced out of your crappy apartment near the downtown area. Yeah, no.

So I wouldn't want Amazon near me, either.

She is right. The state is paying Amazon $60,000 per job. The jobs only pay $15 per hour which in NYC is equivalent to about $6 per hour elsewhere. They need to negotiate a better deal with the soulless monopoly Amazon.
