#1 I don't like Amazon, and I don't like AOC. Popcorn.

Amazon should have gone there and gotten very favorable publicity

#3 ....but where is the power in there? Then there is an issue all such corporations look at, security. Those cities that treat crime as a social illness rather than the crime for which it is seem to get more rather than less. Not very inviting for those shopping for viable locations.

#4 I look for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be a one-term rep.

#6 Amazon got a break of approx. 3 Billion in taxes from New Yawk out of 27 Billion it was expected to pay over ten years IF its new HQ was approved. IF it was NOT approved then Amazon would walk away from th deal and go to Virginia. The deal was NOT approved..SO Ocasio Cortez got absolutely ZERO..no 27 Billion in Taxes SO no 3 Billion break...but that was OK since Bezos will hardly miss it, since he won't pay any taxes anyway and he seldom does...BUT he does make enormous profits. Which is business as it should be. Try it, you'll like it.

And Ocasio Cortez is looking at NO jobs and NO taxes and the money she THOUGHT was available for anything for her district doesn't exist, let me repeat that...money from Cuomo DOESN't exist. A great Victory for the Left. Yeah, an empty bag and a dried up brain.
Ocasio Cortez gets nothing, let me repeat that...NADA, ZIP, Zilch.
What a victory for the Left. NOTHING. What a victory for Occasion Cortez. Let's do that again.
I just can't get over this girl's financial acumen and her sheer GENIUS.

As I recall, her district is a gentrified area of the Bronx and is as shallow as it comes. So, she's a symptom not a trend.

#8 I just can't get over this girl's financial acumen and her sheer GENIUS.

A bachelor's in Economics and she was working as a bartender. Seems like evidence of something.

#9 Economics today seems to be Marxism and how to hide it.
