Amazon to move it’s second headquarters to Queens.[update 2/14 : Amazon cancels its plans.

[ORDER_66]

AOC doesn’t even have any say over LIC. That ain’t part of her district.

The average person now thinks AOC runs this city. Crazy.

I know right?!!?

 

[OnFleekTing]

The bigger the company the worst it is to work for them
I mean look at facebook
Amazon creates jobs but you literally are a wage slave in the warehouse at that point

 

[Mensch Fontana]

bruh these dudes don't understand that this is a HEADQUARTERS not some damn factory. The only low skilled positions they'd have would be the janitors.

Those 150k jobs would be filled by transplants and NYers who already have well paying tech jobs. Not to mention a number of current Amazon employees transferring to work at the NYC office.

This all it would've done would gentrify queens worse than Brooklyn. And give about 50 brehs a janitor job

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Last time I checked AOC is in washington if that's who your referring to blame the dumbass cuomo and the mayor for negotiating this fukking deal. put blame where it belongs...

The socialism tag is a terrible one.

I'm literally chuckling at the fact that dudes don't like corporate greed have no problem profiting from it in their free time and the toys they play in the lifestyle they choose the places they eat in entertainment that they want suddenly have a problem with subsidies to a large company when they indulge in every single day of their lives

Obama got killed as being an anti-business president despite no actual factual data to back it up now you have concrete data that shows that a multi-billion-dollar corporation moved out of New York because of this Fiasco this is a horrible horrible horrible thing for Democrats in 2020

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

Not so fast...

Wow..My mom told me about this today. I couldn't believe it.

 

[Strapped]

thats a LOT of jobs that just picked up and walked home

i mean yeah we know that a lot of them would have been transplants, but its not like the entire fukkin 25,000 job campus was gonna be outsourced to india

anyway :jayhub: up to new yorkers to decide this

If you thought they would really bring 25k jobs in 1 of the highest wage state you're delusional

 

[Strapped]

Obama got killed how by being anti-business? If anything, the main complaint is he didn't following through his actual economic populism he preached on the campaign trail.

The fact of the matter is that residents, many who wouldn't even benefit from the Amazon HQ level jobs were about to possibly see their rent prices go up even further, cost of living increase, and also the deal was completely subsidized by tax payers who would not be the beneficiaries of the jobs in the first place. The average income a queens resident is $54k http://www.city-data.com/income/income-Queens-New-York.html while the jobs being proposed by this bill were well above $100k meaning the actual residents of the people who lived there would not be employed by the company to make up all the subsidization they would have to provide for it. If I'm an individual who is already being stressed by market forces like gentrification and increasing real estate prices, I would want this shyt in my neighborhood if there is a high likelihood I wouldn't even be paid enough or be hired by the company to make up for it.

You confuse, accurately highlighting, the increasing wealthy inequality that exists in the United States where corporate profits increase but real wages are stagnant if not decreasing since the 80s with communism and or full blown socialism.

Once again, thinking at the gut level and not beyond it where nuance is typically located.

Same dudes cheering this shyt got Prime accounts and Fire Sticks.

You do the math.
