"Additionally, he said, HQ2 would have brought “at least 25,000-40,000 good paying jobs for our state and nearly $30 billion dollars in new revenue to fund transit improvements, new housing, schools and countless other quality-of-life improvements.”..."

Economics for Dummies

[Dilbert San Diego]

And let’s not forget our economic multipliers.

I don’t know the details of the math, but, creating 25,000 new jobs at Amazon in New York, would have led to the creation of thousands of new jobs in service businesses.

Economics major Ocasio-Cortez, again shows her ignorance of economics, when she said that now that Amazon won’t be getting $3 billion in tax abatements, now we can use that money to rebuild the subway, etc. Paraphrasing what she said.

She clearly doesn’t understand that the tax abatements are not sitting in the bank, waiting to be spent on rebuilding the subway, if only we don’t give the benefit to Amazon.

Then again, for having an econ. degree, she doesn’t even know how the unemployment rate is calculated. So there you go.

She could eat corn on the cob thru a picket fence with those choppers.

AOC’’s main objecton to Amazon’s deal with New York was the the 3 billion dollars in promised tax-cuts could have been put to other uses.

This reveals a great deal about the way socialists think. A tax cut isn’t a corporation’s money that it gets to keep, it’s the government’s money that has been withheld from its rightful owner.

Remember when Bernie Sanders accused Republicans of “looting the treasury” with their tax cuts? It’s not your money folks, it’s the governments and maybe they’ll let you keep some.

I look forward to hearing about what Alexendria does with that 3 billion dollars she retrieved from those greedy Amazon folks.

The outspoken freshman Congresswoman was a critic of the deal Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio had brokered with Amazon.

I love it. Ultra Lib claiming victory over Ultra Libs!

AOC grins like a jackass eating briars.

With NY $2B in the hole (California too) a POX on Dem all:-)

[PGR88]

as a NY’er, I celebrate Amazon pulling out of NY too

Progressive leaders here are mini-fascists and communist central planners. They are in love with their power and the fantasy they can “create” prosperity by their own hands. They create political projects with crony-capitalists, and then throw gobs of money at them

5 years ago, Cuomo gave TESLA $750 million and built TESLA a plant to manufacture solar panels. The factory is now finally running, with 10% of the promised employment, producing an old-generation product, using 2nd hand machinery.

***“Today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers and their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation and the power of the richest man in the world,” ****

Sounds like something Marx or Lenin would say, almost word for word. “Corporate Greed,... exploitation of workers...power and riches to the wealthy..”
