    Thanks AOC !

    @Reeko @Os Trigonum

    I know this thread has nothing to do with Trump but I'm not going to apologize for the people who don't care about Harris County, Fort Bend County, whatever county Katy is in too




    https://thetexan.news/amazon-building-fulfillment-center-in-fort-bend-county/

    Over a year after Amazon decided not to move forward with its planned “HQ2” in Long Island City, NY due to public pressure against the project, Fort Bend County can count itself the home of a new Amazon Fulfillment Center.

    Fort Bend County Judge KP George announced breaking ground on the facility’s construction Thursday on Twitter.

    After the Long Island City debacle, in which Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez almost single-handedly sunk the plans, George wrote to Amazon offering his county as an option for the shipping magnate.

    To the southwest side of Houston, Fort Bend County is home to over 800,000 people and has been rapidly increasing since the 1990s. While largely a residential county, wherein those who work in Houston or Harris County generally choose to live, more and more business has sprung up in Fort Bend County itself.

    On 93.5 acres of land, the 850,000 square-foot fulfillment center will result in 1,000 jobs for the area. It has a target launch date of 2021, according to George.

    Weird...this has nothing to do with HQ2 for Amazon and will be the 4th Distribution Center in the Houston area. Good on Ft Bend for landing the Center, but why the article and/or the Judge tied this to AOC and HQ2, I have no idea.

    I am starting to think you lean some kinda way.o_O

    This is a fulfillment center and not HQ2 so I don't know what AOC has to do with it.

    This is a distribution center, not a second tech headquarters. This is celebrating a warehouse with poor working conditions that will mail you a box of kosher salt overnight.

    He got something back from them

    I'm sure a million fans want an autograph from Stone Cold Steve Austin
    and if he gives one of them a 'Hell Yeah' then they got something right?

    This says a whole lot about you and why you are starved for attention.

    Happy with a Bobblehead?

    Yeesh!
