In a socialist society who cares. Lol. NYC...where the “unwilling” to work live. Prozac+weed+food stamps+abortions=happy liberals😀
We have a couple Amazon sites in Ca i don’t see any plight just jobs for the masses👹👺🤡
Yes, creating 25,000 jobs ruins communities 😳🙄
New York with these punk senators is heading Venezuela
Can Amazon come ruin Arizona's communities with your high paying jobs? We'll gladly take that misery away from you New Yorkers.
Extremely hard to ruin something that's already ruined.
that is bs
Employees are eating on campus and not on their way home after work? That was the best example he could give? Lol
Of course they will defend their stand! What other excuse can you have to turn away thousands of jobs away!!!! 😫news amazion dumbpolitics
The Seattle City Council is what’s hurting Seattle, not Amazon...
Lol..how do the idiots get elected to public office?
The failure was the incompetent Seattle City Council.. seems the Apple didn’t fall too far from the tree in LIC!
Stupidity reigns in New York ! Anchor company lots of support biz gets created anchors a tech sector , Will change any community to high paying tech and service jobs. That us not ruin. Baltimore woul love this type of ruins
This guy has no facts or statistics. Just his big mouth.
andrewrsorkin such a good interview by you. My only criticism is that you gave him too many opportunities to accept one ounce of accountability. As a moderate I think the State Senator cane across as arrogant and smug.
And of course the question remains, “why the heck did NY bid if Amazon destroys cities and communities?” ... Amazon is becoming the new Walmart for the left ... hates success, hates low prices, hates innovation.
Obviously NYC has many other companies w/ better business practices waiting in the wings to supply the 25k Jobs & tax revenues, this is why they said no to Amazon, they appear to know what they are doing, but 10 years later history will judge if that was correct
Yet these very same people will continue to use Amazon to purchase items.
Here is what CNBC’s intrepid reporters failed to ask — “why did NY respond to the RFP and bid to have HQ2 in NY?” ... “and why did you not raise these concerns before now?” Sloppy, bias reporting. I expect more from CNBC than to pander to the NY political crowd.
love it when a plan comes together!!! Bezos is sleazy as they come!!! Amzn doesnt pay FED taxes! good riddance!!!
It is smart of Amazon to pull out. It would have been smarter to not plan to go there in the first place.
Seattle govt failed to keep pace w/ growth of Amazon, but that can be corrected, growth is good but also a challenge
Forget about the 25,000 jobs and the income that comes from that.
If Seattle is proof you are a spoof of a Senator
He’s looking to get Resorts to open their second Queens location, it’s done such great things for Jamaica.
Seattle is doing just fine, and we are a much smaller city than New York. Hopefully they just add an additional 10-15K of those high paying jobs here.
There are millions of small business that are flourishing thanks to Amazon.
But Amazon is online.

Damn Right!
people I can tell you are furious...amazon jobs gone forever,...was NEVER money on the table that will now be REINVESTED in the communities, that money was in the form of sales and use tax breaks ...AOC if a financial illiterate and she fucked new your, arent you happy now

Amazon ruins the communities it takes over, says NY state senator who opposed NYC deal'Amazon needs to get ahold of what they mean to communities, and act responsibility,' a NY state senator said. 'When they come in and take over a community like that, the community dies.' I love the expensively printed 'protest signs.' The labor unions printing presses worked overtime. The Senator in question probably wanted Amazon money for his campaign. When he didnt get it, he fought to kill the deal! I will vote him out next time. Seattle disagrees. thriving

'Million Dollar Listing' agent Ryan Serhant: Buyers are 'freaking out' about Amazon ditching NYC'Amazon coming, I think, was a great thing,' says Ryan Serhant. 'All they wanted to do was bring jobs.' Tears for all the Amazon execs who front ran the original announcement and loaded up on “cheap” condos. 🤣 Corporate welfare in the form of sweetheart tax breaks has to stop. Period. Uber rich corporations like Amazon do not need any tax breaks. I feel worse for the people who won't have jobs and economic opportunity as a result of the political grandstanding by Queens politicians. Shame on them.

Dow futures get a boost | US-China talks set for next week | Amazon bolts NYCFutures are pointing to a higher Wall Street open this morning, following a mixed session which saw the Dow and S&P 500 end brief win streaks. I heard Trump appointed Gallagher as lead negotiator. ilsalvavitapisc These headlines are bewildering. You can’t use that headline as why the futures are higher. Every day, same nonsense from CNBC. Can someone please admit that they have no clue what’s driving the market higher. Pure market manipulation at this point.

AOC reacts to Amazon abandoning its NYC HQ2 plan: “Anything is possible”Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the New York City Democrat, called it a defeat of Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s founder and CEO, who is the richest man in the world. It is perversely brilliant for Bezos and Co to cast AOC as a deal-killer. PLEASE RECALL THAT JUST LAST WEEK FOXCOMM DID THE SAME THING IN THE MIDWEST . And so ends the ballad of AOC. Her GreenNewDeal is a cataclysmic disaster and not even dems support it. She ran off AmazonHQ2 as well. Everything this child touches collapses in on itself. BilldeBlasio and NYGovCuomo’s biggest failure as politicians. Karma will catch up one of these days.
