Amazon pulls out of NYC

[Big Abraham]

Has any freshman member of Congress screwed up as badly in recent memory as AOC here?

While I doubt her base thinks she screwed up - after all, socialism can only be instituted if capitalism is defeated - I think she's genuinely vulnerable to a deep-pockets primary challenge now. She pissed off a lot of people in both the public and private ector.

You're right. However, neither Cortez nor her base are actually anti-capitalist

Not my fault, the far left crowd has been demonizing business for years. None of the brocialists care to learn the nuances about small business or the occasional big business that treats labor well, no they're all haters of the working person. The left has a sheep mentality with anything that could balance a fair deal between labor and business, many just might as well go ahead and call for abolishment of the banks. If these white leftists read about the positive economic developments these business to POC communities they would hopefully be converted to understanding economics.

In the primary Bernie was backed by the Hipsters who have ruined over formaily minority-dominated areas by transferring them into white upper class paradises. No room for the working black person.

Spoken like a true identity politics liberal

No same person wants an Amazon in their community. How do I know? They are rapidly destroying mine and I live over an hour outside Seattle.

So once you kick all those evil corporations out where are people going to work? I mean im sure that a growing economy causes disruption and adjustment to the local area but would you rather be in some rural county in West Virginia with no new companies coming in?

Not all corporations are evil.  For that matter if Amazon hadn't tried for such extreme tax breaks, I think they'd have been welcomed in NYC.

Maybe. All New Yorkers I remember speaking to on the issue (I lived there when the transfer was announced) complained about it almost exclusively on the basis of increased traffic congestion and rising housing costs.
