"It was that the environment over the course of the past three months had not got any better. There were some local and state elected officials who refused to meet with Amazon and criticized us day in and day out about the plan," she said in the interview.

Andrew Cuomo "was working hard to make it happen, but looking at the opposition and the timeline we decided we don't want to work in this environment in the long term."

    @AOC

    Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world.

    AMAZON CANCELS PLAN TO COME TO NEW YORK

    "After much thought and deliberation, we’ve decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens" - Amazon spokeswoman Jodi Seth
    "We are in a dangerous place," panelist Donny Deutsch warned. "If people in the party don't start to speak up against people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is young and dynamic but does not know what she's talking about, they're going to hand the presidency back to Donald Trump."

    ...and it just keeps getting better.


    Ocasio-Cortez Displays Her Economics Genius Once Again. Donald Trump Jr. Crushes Her In One Tweet.

    -On Friday, Donald Trump Jr. took a moment out of his day to shred Economics Guru™ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for her ridiculous claim that New York could somehow invest the $3 billion Amazon would have gotten as a tax break for building in Long Island City, located in Ocasio-Cortez's 14th District of New York. Trump Jr. tweeted, “Will someone please explain to me how it is possible for NYC to SPEND a $3 Billion tax break on anything? This is insanity.”...

    Speak up against? The Dem party is embracing far leftists and socialists whole-heartedly. And it's really a laugher for the 'Morning Joe' crew and Deutsch to be the ones saying this. They're just as bad. lol.
