Thanks to AOC and Democrats, Amazon Just Pulled the Plug on Their NYC Headquarters

[Guno צְבִי]

Lovely. Why pay all those taxes anyway? Bring it on down to Florida. Plenty of big land spaces in central area.

what a dumb fuck, NYC has major headquarters for major companies they should not grovel like you poorly educated white trash fuckstains for jobs in dumbfuckastan

[reagansghost]

DAMN!

AOC is one POWERFUL Democrat!

[Adolf_Twitler]

Da fvck?!?! Dude, they are headquartered in Seattle. And they are not leaving Seattle. And where did you read they are moving employees from Seattle?

Well, if Amazon carries out their plans, they want to move to 3 separate locations including Arlington VA., San Francisco, and NYC- From Seattle.

Don't shart your britches BOY! For heaven's sake!

Amazon pulled the plug on their new headquarters in New York City, taking with them the billions of dollars that would have gone into the project — and their blaming political hostility from people like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)

As IJR previously reported, Ocasio-Cortez was “outraged” when Amazon picked her district for its new headquarters. When rumors started to swirl that Amazon was reconsidering the move, she took to Twitter to celebrate.



Amazon Statement
While polls show that 70 percent of New Yorkers support our plans and investment, a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City.”

Amazon thanked New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for their efforts and said they would consider future deals with the city if the political climate allows

With AOC's plan to provide a guaranteed income to those unwilling to work, why should she be worried about jobs not coming there?

Don't shart your britches BOY! For heaven's sake!

Are we going back in time here? Amazon went on a HQ2 search. They picked Arlington,VA and NYC. Now they are backing out of NYC. SF has nothing to do with this. Nor were they sending a bunch of workers from Seattle to NYC.

[Stretch]

yes. We have an outstanding business climate as well as ecological climate.

We are already larger populace then NY state, and New Yorkers are moving away from the cold miserable high state tax state.

Come on down! You'll find a wiling workforce, a great economy,and low taxes..

FedEx Ground built their huge ground distribution center here in Marion county, opened a couple years ago I think. it opened with more than 350 employees and created more than $170 million in capital investment in the community. And, Florida is ranked high (maybe in top 3?) for transportation infrastructure in the U.S. which is great for logistics and distribution type companies.

OK! It's a little tough to stay up with Amazon- everyday- they come up with something different than the day before.

DFW has made out well over the years with National Headquarters of Tech Giants moving here because of it's access to several International Commercial airports, milder winters, Central location in America, lowered standard of living costs, and the giveaway Tax abatements Texas continues to offer.

So personally, since Amazon didn't even consider DFW- I dropped interest in their relocation news stories.

what a dumb fuck, NYC has major headquarters for major companies they should not grovel like you poorly educated white trash fuckstains for jobs in dumbfuckastan

You do realize that people and businesses are fleeing from NY right? Speaking of dumb fucks.

[signalmankenneth]

New York (CNN Business)Amazon is ditching its plans to build a new headquarters in New York after facing backlash from members of the community.

"After much thought and deliberation, we've decided not to move forward with our plans to build a headquarters for Amazon in Long Island City, Queens," Jodi Seth, an Amazon spokeswoman, said in a statement.

In the statement, Amazon noted that "a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us to build the type of relationships that are required to go forward with the project we and many others envisioned in Long Island City."

DFW made the top 20. I was visiting Dallas to see the in-laws and it was being written about in the Dallas Morning News every day I was there. Hell, I was talking to a Dallas buddy today who hopes Amazon reconsiders them.
