AOC-led push to kill Amazon's NYC move under renewed scrutiny as city faces catastrophic job losses"Amazon had planned to build a second NYC headquarters in Long Island City in Queens, but community activists and left-wing lawmakers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY., and state senators rallied to block the move in 2019. In particular, they had zeroed in on the estimated $2.5 billion in incentives that Amazon would receive in order to tempt them to the area.
It was a battle that AOC, and other anti-Amazon local politicians, won when in February 2019, Amazon announced it was taking its jobs elsewhere."Well I hope they are prepared to offer her a great big apology, front and center.

Amazon signs lease for NYC’s biggest-ever warehouse"(06/23/2020) Amazon has signed a lease for a 1-million-square-foot warehouse in Queens, its biggest-ever in New York City, according to a report.... The report also said that Amazon is looking to gobble up a 620,000-square-foot warehouse and office space in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, but has not yet signed a lease."Looks like Amazon didn't need the $2.5 billion enticement from NY taxpayers after all. This is something other cities should pay attention to. Looks like she and these other leaders called Amazon's bluff and it paid off.
So when can we expect an apology to be forth coming?
