Oops, looks like your reply missed a bit. Here's the rest:

So your argument is that AOC was right to oppose this because thus far Amazon has only brought in 8,000 more jobs (cut bit) with no indication they're not going to be hiring the other 2/3 because more people can simply work from home?

But listen, I'm sure she's done a ton for her district that is way better than bringing in an HQ like this, right? Only I'm confused, because when I look up statistics for her district I see that unemployment remains as bad as it's always been. But I must be making a mistake since you seem to think she made the right call here. Maybe you can clarify.

Edit: oh, but maybe you were thinking about education since Amazon's deal with New York would have included building a tech campus and offering extremely low cost higher education to locals with a high rate of job placement in the new hq. Maybe she's done a lot to boost access to higher education in her district? I can't find any information about that either, but maybe she was just too busy tweeting to get around to it.
