The 29-year-old progressive darling headlined a closed-press, standing-room-only meeting of activists in lower Manhattan on Monday, near the site of the Occupy Wall Street protests in Zuccotti Park. The meeting’s purpose, according to those who attended, was to strategize about how to kill Amazon’s deal to build a headquarters in Long Island City — a deal that proponents say would bring at least 25,000 well-paying jobs in exchange for roughly $3 billion in subsidies. The instant outrage that greeted Governor Andrew Cuomo's and Mayor Bill de Blasio's announcement that Amazon would come to Queens appeared to take both politicians by surprise. Critics of the deal point to the absence of a meaningful oversight role for the New York City Council, Amazon’s anti-union record, its talks with ICE about facial recognition technology, out-of-control gentrification and the deal’s inclusion of a helipad.

Doc Brown Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 So much for De Blasio calling himself a progressive. No guarantees that Amazon would hire locally or become more union friendly. Housing prices will go up in the area and force people out. Tax payer dollars will go to Bezos instead of to schools and infrastructure. Fraud. 1

The reason for Amazon locating there is that a workforce is more easily available. I'm betting that a better deal could have been gotten if Cuomo and De Blasio understood why Amazon wanted to locate there and if there were any other locations (other than VA) in the country that could compete with them.
