Ocasio-Cortez Celebrates "Defeat" Of World's Richest Man's "Worker
Exploitation" As Amazon Abandons NY

Update 2: Finally, the woman who led the charge against Amazon and its
move to Queens has chimed in to declare Amazon's decision a triumph for
all New Yorkers and every committed comrade engaged in the eternal class
struggle against our corporate overlords.

*** Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated,
everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate
greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the
world. https://t.co/nyvm5vtH9k

She added that if New York had $3 billion to give away to Amazon as a
part of this deal, it should be able to find the money to pay teachers
and fix the subway.


*** Ocasio-Cortez just cost NYC 25,000 plus jobs and likely billions of
dollars in economic development and ancillary small business revenue

*** Great start for her

Let the irony sink it: AOC wants to raise taxes on the wealthy to fund
her utopian socialist agenda, but is also against wealthy people
generating taxable income.

Once her constituents figure it out, they might realize that they would
have been better off if AOC had stayed tending bar.

I wonder if her "victory" will give her the incentive to run for
president. Shame she it too young, it would be fun to watch.
