“If we were willing to give away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest those $3 billion in our district ourselves, if we wanted to. We could hire out more teachers. We can fix our subways. We can put a lot of people to work for that money, if we wanted to,”
Can you imagine this token dope’s reaction when people told her they weren’t actually going to write a check to Amazon for $3 billion, and that in fact the money didn’t exist yet? I hope she stays front & center, but I’m sure the Dems have to give her a beat-down now; the representative for the district where Amazon was going to build supported the move, as did the mayor of the city and governor of the state (all Dems). They can’t have these plans upset by ignorant gibsmedats with no clue as to how business works - and they can’t have the governor broadcasting “New York is open for business” while these radicals shout back, “No it isn’t!”.
She appears programmed to act and perform only in accordance with the agenda of her puppet masters.
This imbroglio about the tax breaks representing actual cash outflow will be an acid test re: the question of whether or not she is a real living breathing human being...or just an automaton/clone.
Her behavior leading up to this error on her part has shown no evidence that she has a capacity for remorse or admission of guilt.
“No clue how business works”
Is giving some businesses massive tax credits and others nothing “how business works?”
Amazon should be ashamed of themselves.
