"As we shared earlier this year, we plan to continue to hire and grow organically across our 18 Tech Hubs, including New York City," an Amazon spokesperson told CBS New York in a statement.article noted an Amazon expansion in New York."Well, just as we said, Amazon quietly came to NYC without needing a dime of public money or special tax treatment. The jobs came without the cost," she wrote.

Well, just as we said, Amazon quietly came to NYC without needing a dime of public money or special tax treatment.NYC is an attractive place to locate on its own , w/o billions of dollars in corporate giveaway “incentives.”

She truly IS dumber than a box of rocks.

It's amazing that a company has so much power over the government. They have been teasing Americans for over two years with this office talk and everyone sits around like little puppets doing everything for them, except Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Thank you AOC.

So 'throw shade'...odd term choice. Does this make her seem cooler or something? Would Trump 'throw shade' at the impeachment hearings? seems odd

what does that mean mean, to 'throw shade'?

She can’t count. YFF

Don't gloat much .. still 25,000 jobs short.

Right on, AOC. You rule. So pleased you are truly working on behalf of the people. Wish we had you or one of your young, courageous colleagues down here in Texas, rather than the Neanderthals who represent us. Keep speaking truth to power!

Amazon: still has zero jobs in AOC's district. AOC: *pats self on back*

YOu mean when 6% of the original number are coming to NYC. What a joke. Losing 94% is not something I would call a victory.

NY voted for that idiot so that’s what they get.

this story is bullshit, like everything newsweek puts out now. its way less jobs, just as much tax breaks and we(nyc residents, esp the union tradesmen) lost...all because of her

This is what happens when you aren’t paid for by billionaires.

So you're saying SHE's the great negotiator? Finally a REAL negotiator from Queens.

Woo hoo! Time to celebrate with AOC she only cost them 94% of those Amazon jobs.

1) It is 1000 jobs at entry positions 45 to 60 k. Amazon HQ would have been 25000 jobs at ranges from 40k to 300+k. 2) It opened in a different area of NYC that offers even more tax breaks...

She's still down 24,000 jobs

The unhinged bartender loses again.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls out Trump after news that Amazon plans to hire 1,500 employees in New York CityOcasio-Cortez called out Trump again for defending 'shady deals, helipad handouts for Jeff Bezos, & corporate giveaways.' Amazon likely realized that AOC has done so much stupid stuff that she will be voted out before she can ruin amazons business. Be careful that this is not Leftist porn cooked up between AOC and Bezos. If AOC “rescues the deal” it would be quite a boost for whatever it is she’s up to. AOC still doesn’t understand how tax breaks work.
