Queens residents are “outraged” at Amazon’s plans to build part of its second headquarters in Long Island City, according to Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The Democratic Socialist, who cruised to victory in the midterm elections after beating Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Queens) in an upset primary win in June, fired off a series of tweets Monday night into Tuesday regarding the blockbuster plans.
“We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this. The community’s response? Outrage,” Ocasio-Cortez, who officially takes office in January, tweeted.
The 29-year-old went on to say: “Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.”

The women can’t afford an apartment!
Not any more.
I see no official announcement of that, not even in the Wall Street Journal 12 hours ago, all I see is speculation based upon anonymous insiders.
That won't happen until Google and Amazon merge....................sometime around 2035..............
I have multiple tabs open and I posted to the wrong thread.
(But if anyone here knows who the man in the background is I would appreciate the information.)
Too funny. And jagoff idiots have now clue what they are creating.
HAHAHAHA! This certainly makes Amazon’s decision easy. :)
It’s official and on WSJ right now.
I think NY and VA residents would pay higher taxes to see Amazon go somewhere else.
25,000 jobs, with all of the taxes they pay.
Increased purchases from the after-tax earnings of those 25,000 employees.
Increase property values, resulting in increase property tax collections.
Clearly, not one of these factors entered into Ms. Occasional Cortex’s very small, porous mind.
Do tax BREAKS mean no tax at all or does it mean LESS in taxes over a specified period of time?
And what about the jobs created and salaries paid which are all taxable.
Shut it down Alexandria!! Use your voice! And all that power you have in Congress now!! Hearings I say. We need hearings!!

I'm not so sure about that - at least as far as VA is concerned. Crystal City's hurting ever since the govies left.
Touche’ !
Well I figured Panem had the inside track, all these online behemoths have fascist streaks and would be drawn to the seat of power. Guess it was too much to pull off, putting it all in DC metro.
She’s just pissed because she hasn’t received her Amazon House of Representatives pay-off check yet.
Well, she does need to pay for a new DC apartment...
