AOC didn't actually force them out. The entire HQ2 thing was just a real estate scam and a way to coerce Washington state into giving them more breaks. Amazon hasn't built a single building in Virginia outside of DC for its HQ2 and there are no concrete plans of when they will do so.
I have no doubt if some honest reporter investigated they'd find Bezos and his friends bought up cheap property in these cities and then sold it after announcing the winners for many times what they paid.
Don't like her policies but she had a point here. I'm pro-business, but there does come a point when throwing all kinds of tax breaks etc. at big corporations doesn't make sense. Would rather see them get treated the same as everyone else.
Creepy Jeff has no need for petty scams. When did you last have an Amazon delivery? In my tiny city in the UK, I now see 3 or 4 Amazon Prime freshly liveried vans a day on my drive to work alone. Creepy Jeff just wants you to buy from him. Nothing more.
New Record?
No I think aoc forcing Amazon out of Brooklyn was way more
On day one?
Oh no it wasn’t, my bad I missed that part
