AOC gets what she wants: [NYT] Amazon Pulls Out of Planned New York City Headquarters

She is retweeting more bullshit, this time from Sarah Silverman...who apparently has her own show. Kill me now.

 

48 year old pearl clutching harpy.

 

It is kind of funny that it appears that both Trump and AOC have it in for Bezos now.

Good to see both sides of the aisle coming together.....

 

Common Sense. Like getting rid of cows. Or replacing air travel with trains. Or redesigning every building in America.

IN TEN YEARS.

You and I define "Common Sense" very differently.

Old people....otherwise known as people who like cheap cars, meat, cheese, flying to grandmas, hawaiian vacations, their current dwelling, etc etc.

 

AOC is proof that any idiot can get elected to high offices in this country, at least she is not the president yet.

 

Considering that the whole thing was about state tax incentives and was torpedoed by state legislators I'd say this is an incredibly dubious claim.

Anyway aside from your shaky extrapolation, this analysis reeks of Sunday morning talk show centrism/cw divination which has its roots in 90s DLC type triangulation

This mode of analysis is trash. It should have been obvious in November. Democrats crushed Republicans with both centrists and with leftists. Sanders and Biden equally lead Trump in battleground polls.

But that's just the symptomatic analysis. People, particularly younger ones have gotten way more sophisticated about unquestionably shoving huge bundles of money at tech overlords.

This is a good thing.

 

I hope you are right, as I would rather be wrong. However I don’t think that most Americans are going to view it the way you do.

 

Cohete Rojo: Oppress yourselves first -- go vegan.

Regressive illiberals: That's ****ing impossible! Quit demanding so much!

AOC: Let's replace all current fossil fuel infrastructure in the next 10 years.

Regressive illiberals: Yes we can.

Cohete Rojo:

 

Schultz 2020 it is.

If you cant get behind pushing back against the oligarchs, even those that tend towards the benign side of the spectrum than we should all just give up.

If undervalued areas of New York ****ing City have to debase themselves and play the bogus tax incentives game in order to lease ultra prime real estate away to the richest company in the multiverse...then its basically the same as Jeff Bezos getting extorted by the National Enquirer.

Someone has to say enough of this ****. Somebody powerful. Somebody who can take the hit and move on.

They did.

They'll be fine for it. So will Bezos.

This is what collective action looks like.

 

Considering none of that is in it, I think its safe to say you have no idea what you are talking about

 

Unions can be a plague no doubt but so are billion dollar corporate subsidies. So I say win-win for new york taxpayers!

 

Page 2 FAQ:

I understand why you might think what I said was fantastic. I might have thought the same until the FAQ from the New Green Deal was put online and I read it with my own eyes. Perhaps you hadn't seen this. Now you have.

Either way, be careful who you claim "has no idea what they are talking about". You look ignorant.

 

You should work on those comprehension skillz

You have to be pretty dumb to think that someone is gonna come snatch your cows and planes.

 

It CAME FROM HER WEBSITE describing the Green New Deal. I'm not making this **** up. If you have a problem with that, take it up with her.

 

Jesus.....,mentioning cow farts and airplanes is clearly in jest, The boogeyman isn't coming for you.

 

Oh I see. A serious document that spell out specifics is just "jesting".

 

Typical approach to American politics there …. Its the party I like , it must be wonderful …. until its not.

Greed New Nightmare.

 

Uh no, quite the opposite.

 

Our democratic system is open to participation from all citizens......for better or worse.
