New York is taxing the earnings of medical professionals who have come from out of state to help out. At some level, someone understands that people in New York are going to get taxed on their earnings. And that would have meant that 25,000 Amazon employees were going to be paying payroll taxes. Plus, New York would have taxed products purchased at the center, thus generating even more revenue. The 25,000 employees would have been spending some of their money which would have benefited many businesses near the Amazon store like gas stations.
The gob smacking stupidity of AOC and others like her like watching someone putting their hand through the bars at the zoo to pet the nice big kitty.
