    I’ve asked multiple times for anyone to explain how exactly her actions were hypocritical. No answer.

    AOC wants to tax the rich when she’s in the Bronx. She wants to tax the rich when she’s in DC. She wants to tax the rich when she’s delivering water to Texans. She wants to tax the rich when she’s in congress. And she wants to tax the rich when she’s at the Met Gala.

    She hasn’t moved.

    You really believe that, that's funny. Wake me up when she passes any legislation that actually does that. Meanwhile, keep wasting your money that you send to her.
    Just pass legislation, bro. Biden can’t even get his signature infrastructure bill through but just pass legislation.

    The single most important thing AOC can do right now is make sure people are always talking about it. 6 pages. Job done.
    It's not clear who is less informed about tax and economic policy between you, hh, and AOC, but all three of you are clueless.
    Let's start with her degree in economics from a private university. No job offers from KMPG, Deloitte, PWC, maybe a smaller boutique firm? Strange.
    What happened with her chance to tax Amazon and along with it, 25,000 jerbs for her constituents? Great work there.
    Talking about something !=doing it. Jimmy Lake talks about UW winning championships, I guess that's good enough. Democrats are 'talking' about helping the blacks and the poor. That's good enough. Like I said, wake me up when this talk turns into something.

    Amazon announced that it would nevertheless expand operations in New York, adding 1,500 jobs and 335,000 square feet of office space. Hmm, that seems like less than 25,00. Is it?

    In Manhattan. Outside of AOC's district. Maybe read your link first.
    Amazon is still opening new locations in New York, including the Bronx.

    Also, since you continue quoting the 25,000 number. That number was not contractual, it was a “pledge”. Nothing legally. So the deal was that they got the tax incentives and then could do whatever the fuck they wanted.

    Someone pointed out how stupid this was and then Amazon decided to make a big stink about how they weren’t going to come to New York anymore. And then they spent the last 3 years opening Amazon locations across New York. Oops.

    Explain to me how a tax incentive that delivers incremental revenue to a municipality vs delivering nothing is a bad thing.

    The brain power of Trumpers on display.

    Someone could point out to you how AOC had nothing to do with any of the Amazon jobs that are referred to in this stupid article that you linked while embarrassing yourself. I'm sure you can find out how much input she had on the negotiations. She definitely got people talking about what a fucking idiot she is. Oops.

    Don't play in the deep end of finance, @TheKobeStopper. You're about to get slaughtered.

    By capitalists that can’t solve how to retain employees? Seems unlikely.

    It's almost as if he's got no formal business training at all...

    Maybe you can explain how businesses retain employees, since you have no knowledge of working or running a business. Seems unlikely.
