[Pearls Before Swine]

"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..."

Amazon thought they had negotiated a mutually beneficial deal. But, NYC was like Darth Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back", changing the deal and saying, "Pray that I do not alter it further."

Even now, AOC is so haughty as to say, "not opposed" to bringing it back.

Even now, AOC is so haughty as to say, “not opposed” to bringing it back.

Sure, she’s “not opposed” as long as they give in
to her demands. If they give in she declares it a victory.
If they don’t, she still declares it victory as she
is still continuing the class struggle.
Even though she is a failure, her supporters will love
her for it.
