She isn't really complaining about the jobs. She DOES have a point and, believe it or not, it DOES align with many of the FReeper comments above:

“Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.”

I cannot believe I'm agreeing with a "Democrat Socialist."

Of course, Amazon is worth a tad more than $1 billion. I doubt she knows the difference between million, billion and trillion.

The 29-year-old went on to say: "Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here."

I agree with her on this. She sounds like a populist/nationalist, in fact. LOL.

What REALLY has her concerned, though, is that with Amazon in town she knows damn well that her new boss will not be her constituents, but Jeff Bezos. Welcome to Congress, you naïve dingbat.
