Topic	AOC on Amazon jobs: A job that leaves you homeless and on food stamps is a scam.
s0nicfan 12/19/20 1:58:50 PM #19:	dud posted... Why is it on her to offset that? She wasn't taking something away from people that already existed. You don't know if Amazon would have gone there anyway or that she singlehandedly turned them away. By that logic I guess she gets credit for every new job in her district too? Also a better measure than "jobs", because as she said a ton of jobs are shit and barely help, would be if her district reduces the number of people who are homeless and on food stamps, but even then, there's only so much she can do about that in her position It's literally her job to represent the interests of her district. The Amazon HQ was going to bring with it 25,000 jobs. How is lobbying against that in the interest of her district? https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/14/new-york-will-lose-the-bulk-of-the-25000-jobs-that-were-promised-by-amazon-hq2.html The loss of most of the new jobs is a major setback for New York as Amazon's new headquarters and its additional workforce were expected to further accelerate the city's economic growth, especially in certain sectors like technology and advertising. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo previously said the deal would bring in approximately $27 billion in revenue in exchange for the roughly $3 billion incentive package. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
