“At $15 per hour or better.”
those 25,000 jobs were not warehouse picker jobs, but VERY HIGHLY paid programmer, analyst, finance, and executive jobs in the salary range starting at 100K ...

Typical progressive. Its always someone elses fault.
To: Sub-Driver
"I am a lifelong progressive who sees the problem of growing income and wealth inequality." I think I see part of the problem, Mr. Mayor. Even though he supports democrats, Bezos makes his WEALTH through capitalism.

Amazon and their 25,000 capitalist pig jobs are not welcome in NYC.
Welcome to the revolution.

Beautiful, every lying word of it.
He can’t control companies like he would under socialism and he hates that.
Very good.

Two facts : 1. Mr. de Blasio is mayor of New York City.
2. You can never recover lost wages.

When Jussie Smollett loses his job on that TV show, maybe he can go into HR and be the hiring manager. Unless he is going to be the new spokesman for Subway sandwiches.

What is up with this! DeBlasio clips on Fox News showed him tearing into AOC for costing NY Amazon’s good paying jobs.
NYTimes. Fake News.

Amazon setting up in New York City is about the same as a family of Israelis moving to Iran.

What business wants to be harassed by commies in and out of government. They saw the handwriting on the wall.

Unfortunately ny is a union state and nyc a union town. Made no sense for Amazon to pick NY. They saw the light and changed their mind very quickly.

27 billion in new tax revenue to fuel priorities from transit to affordable housing a ninefold return on the taxes the city and state were prepared to forgo to win the headquarters.Amazon would have generated 27 billion in tax revenue, a nine fold return on the tax credits, yet Mayor Wilhelm still thinks Amazon is at fault.
What a dope.
To: Sub-Driver
I think one of the reasons for cancelation is Amazon had time to see the gene pool from which their employees would emerge. Not enough IQ points to get the jobs done at the level they needed.

“Uh, NYT, despite Bezos being a total dork, he does have superb business sense, which is why he bailed.”
Maybe. But anyone that would even consider setting up shop in New York today - knowing the situation - demonstrates a reckless disregard for his money. Very poor judgment to get that close to a bad deal.
Bezos was lucky to get away after breathing oxygen on the devil.
