One word:
Primary
AOC (Executive Director of Nimby International...)
Neil Young just wrote a song about her, “Cortez The Job Killer”
You get what you vote for.
..... Depending on who you support .... After Slaughtering 40,000 New Jobs, Progressive NIMBYs Are New York City’s Number One Enemy/Heroes
Any business or finance person knows what Ocasio did was unforgiveable. She blew a billion dollar deal.
She now has two mortal enemies in Cuomo and DeBlasio. I guarantee they are furious.
In addition she pissed off the unions who would have had construction work and periphreal business and jobs
AND
Im sure she pissed off the New York mob.
Cuomo and Deblasio are better connected and I guarantee there is a payback coming for the Puerto Rican Princess.
Go back to the start of the whole process, when Amazon generated big news by announcing their "HQ2" initiative -- to develop a second headquarters location in the U.S. somewhere outside Seattle.
Last November, the company caught everyone by surprise that their "HQ2" initiative would basically be an "HQ2 and HQ3" projects -- with TWO new headquarters (in Virginia and NYC). They probably picked the two locations, knowing full well that they only wanted one of them at the end of the day.
NIMBY: Not In My Back Yard
A friend told me that the “oh we didn’t know the local politicians wouldn’t love us” is a cover story and the real reason is that they were (shall we say) encouraged to use 100% union labor and contractors or stay home.
I read the comments at the article - AOC isn’t alone at all.
I assume those who agree all have good jobs and don’t want the traffic, etc.
I went to Seattle to work at Amazon - great pay! Wish we hadn’t sold our condo in downtown Seattle just before it took a huge jump - mostly due to Amazon. Oh well..
…………...for a state that allows a “discussion” about a living, breathing baby for the convenience of the mother, or for ANY reason...….., I say losing Amazon is well deserved!
Indeed, may there be more such losses to New Yorkers.
Vote for the DemoRats, reap the rotten fruits of the DemoRats. But they won’t learn as they will keep voting Rat until it all crumbles down. Insanity on display in NYC.
NIMBY = Not In My Back Yard
So when do these socialist ever do anything constructive ? Everything is destructive. It must be their nature.
Who knows! They both have crazy eyes.
IL douchbag nixed fracking upstate and destroyed 20,000 upstate!
So New Yorkers in Long Island City, Why would continue to vote for Democrats who screw you at every turn???
So sit down, shut up, get with her Marxist POGROM, put on your plastic smiley face and "cooperate"! Or you will force us to send you, and your entire extended family to the new GULAGS, opps, I meant to say "reeducational facilities", that AO COMMUNIST is planning to build for those who don't see how great, and glorious comrade AO COMMUNIST and her "Five-year plan", opps, I mean "Green New Deal" is.
the funny part is the ones who bought up all the housing near there on spec are now stuck with it...
