She then says:

"It’s not a personal animus towards Amazon," Ocasio-Cortez told reporters at her district office.

“One of the most concerning aspects in what happened with the deal previously is you have all of these folks in Long Island City, in neighboring Sunnyside, in Woodside and all the way out to Jackson Heights, that will be impacted by this and they were not consulted,” she added.

Talk about walking it back!

The good news for democrats is that SOMEBODY got to her and she is listening, for whatever reason. If she starts acting sane, I’m going to be very put out.

That crook Chakrabarti needs to STFU. He could be going to prison. If was that boy, I’d keep a low silhouette for a while.

There’s a holdup in the Bronx,
Brooklyn’s broken out in fights.
There’s a traffic jam in Harlem
That’s backed up to Jackson Heights.
There’s a scout troop short a child,
Khrushchev’s due at Idlewild
Occasional Cortex, Where Are You?

Ocasio-Cortez not ruling out Amazon's return to New York, says communities must be consulted.

Looks like the editor softened up the title of this article.

Saikat Chakrabarti, the freshman congresswoman’s chief of staff, blamed Amazon for backing out when the going got tough after a range of community groups, labor organizations and activists pushed back on its plan to build a complex for 25,000 workers on the Queens waterfront.

Try, backed out when the demands became too outrageous.

A socialist complaining that the little people “weren’t consulted” by the powers that be. Funny.

Well, the boss may allow Amazon back into New York! This is so exciting.....does Amazon have any say in this, or is it strictly up to “the boss”?

...whenever tech companies come in without community input, rents go up, people get evicted,

Cry me a river.

If rents go up and you can't afford it, you -- MOVE!
