Like Amazon or not, they do bring jobs to areas they set up shop in. Their second “headquarters” was set to start in New York City. The communists and socialists like Ocasio-Cortez didn’t like this and bitched and moaned about it. Now, the plug has been pulled on Amazon HQ2 in New York, and with that, 25,000 jobs are going somewhere else. Good. Screw communist New York City. Kudos to communist “Sandy” Ocasio-Cortez for single handedly killing 25,000 in New York City. You are awesome!

Amazon announced Thursday it was turning back on its plans to build its second headquarters in New York City, the company said in a statement. The move comes after backlash from lawmakers, notably Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who bemoaned the project.
“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,” the Seattle-based Amazon said in the release.
“For Amazon, the commitment to build a new headquarters requires positive, collaborative relationships with state and local elected officials who will be supportive over the long-term. While polls show that 70% 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,” the statement reads.
