Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, only a month into her freshman term, she is already killing jobs

Amazon was demanding huge incentives to locate in NYC. I have my doubts that adding 25K in jobs is that simple, some of the 25K will just be people switching jobs from other firms and many won't want to relocate in NYC because the real estate market is tight.

Channeling AOC I see.

Somehow the old job will need to be filled Einstein, that's what creating 25K new jobs looks like. Nobody said 25K were moving to NYC to fill AMZN jobs.

On the bright side, there is a big pile of $3 billion that AOC can use to hire teachers and build schools. I am sure there will be a big ground breaking ceremony when construction starts.

Spending for education nowadays mean our schools get remodeled at ourageous prices for kickbacks to the politicians who approved the spending in the first place.

On-a-bender,

Yeah, who needs 25,000 to 40,000 jobs paying a measly $150,000 a year?
At least rents won't be going up.

Although New york has been seeing a net population outflow over the years, it is still quite crowded. Perhaps after a few years of AOC, New York will be nearly empty.

Why stop with Amazon? Certainly the dems can push out some high paying financial firms from NY. If they got rid of all those Wall Street types and they moved elsewhere, imagine how much more affordable housing would be.

LOL, don't go giving her any ideas. She probably thinks kicking the NYSE and NASDAQ out of NY is also a great idea.

 

[Snarkhund]

NYC is not amused. Even DeBlasio burned her down yesterday.

AOC will be primaried and be gone after one term.

Only 3% of registered voters showed up to vote in her district. I'd wager that percentage will be a bit higher next time lol.

Yeah they're bitching about that in Nashville.
