Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a victory lap on Twitter Thursday over news that Amazon is scrapping its plan to build a new headquarters in Queens.
“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,” she tweeted.
The freshman Democratic lawmaker had been a vocal opponent of the deal to lure the online retail giant to Long Island City — which would’ve given Amazon $3 billion in city and state subsidies in exchange for bringing a projected 25,000 jobs to the area.

I don’t know if these folks are insane...or just dumb as a post.
They must truly hate money.
Redact the proper nouns and it could be lifted from Atlas Shrugged.
AOC is not long for this world.
Davos is going to send her a message very soon.
Bad jobs! Evil, racist jobs! Don’t you dare try to come around here with jobs!
3 billion for 25,000 jobs is $120,000 per job. Most of the “subsidies” are scams on the taxpayer.
This had nothing to do with AOC, but she’s taking credit. It was strictly a business decision by Amazon seeing there were greener fields elsewhere and NYC wasn’t worth the hassle.
She’s nuts.
This must be more of her proposal to allow people who do not want to work, to continue on the dole.
How hopeless is that?
AOC cheers the loss of 25,000 jobs for poor people
Maybe they will reconsider NC? NOT! We here in Raleigh and the surrounding Burbs have seen housing costs already go through the roof and our roads becoming little Atlanta or LA.
What. An. Idiot.
And now, OAC, you need to drive Wall Street and all those capitalist exploiters from your home state. That’ll show ‘em and make NY a much finer place to live.
Get to work on that as your next big project, along with the Green New Deal.
Nancy has a “Bride of Chuckie” the Doll problem.
Those strange little dolls can be deviously destructive!
Cheers for AOC. She clearly is succeeding here - in providing no jobs for those unwilling to work.
I wonder how much money Amazongave the Cortez campaign.
AOC picked the right fight here. The Amazon site wasn't in her district, but her constituents were going to pay the cost of making up all the lost tax revenues from the Amazon deal.
Well, she is the chipacabra mouthed champion of those who are unwilling to work
I wonder how her constituents feel about that?........................
The Guv and his Goons are not gonna take kindly to this....
