Ocasio-Cortz dares to criticize the Amazon handout

[Stockinglover]

The funny thing is Tucker hating to admit he agrees with Ocasio-Cortez, but why? He should have just said he agrees with her.

[WTF]

In the long run the citizens will benefit far more.

If it's a decision between this city or that one, why would it not make sense to go with the city that gives you subs?

Why should one business get a tax break when others do not?

Besides, the people that followed this said Besos was only going to DC or NY. He played all these other cities and they have give him valuable demo knowledge about their cities

another issue is what I suspect is the fake nature of amazon's process to select a city for their new "second" headquarters

Bezos had all these poor gullible cities rushing around and providing packages and spending time and effort on their presentations to him

when columbus, raleigh or pittsburgh or austin or any of the others had no shot whatsoever

I'd wager that if only one could have somehow listened in to Bezos' dreams of grandeur that populate his head most of the day, that all along, he had nyc picked out as the place that would maximize his influence and platform and....

then along the way the idea of a second "second" headquarters came to him, probably as he was dominating some woman, as it would allow him to stand astride the Potomac and more easily buy members of the house and senate and of course run WAPO as well as the government

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand'
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

[WTF]

He has houses on DC and NY.

This whole thing was a Dog n Pony show.

Listen , if you are for cities building stadiums for rich sports owners, then you probably have no problem with Besos

I'm sure you did based on your reply

This doesn't make any sense. Can you explain it?

Donald Trumps tax cut for the wealthy was a handout to the ultra rich. It increased the debt. McConnell wants to make it up by cutting Social security, Medicare and Medicaid, I would love to see these assholes try to live and survive on what they think is good for everyone else
