She's dumb and doesn't understand that giving away 3 billion to a company is good and also tax credits aren't giveaways because reasons.
I'm smart and don't understand districting.
- oh_sigh 8y agoHer district is like a mile away from the proposed Amazon office, she has the bully pulpit of the nation 1000x more than any other congressperson in the area does, she talked a lot about the Amazon plan, and celebrated helping destroy it. I don't think it's unreasonable to bring up her incorrect understanding of how tax credits work. > "We were subsidizing those jobs. The city was paying for those jobs. So frankly, if we're willing to give away away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest $3 billion in our district ourselves if we want to. We could hire out more teachers, we can fix our subways, we can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to." https://www.nbcnews.com/video/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-reacts-to-amazon-nixing-long-island-city-campus-1442730051615 https://www.nbcnews.com/video/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-react...
- uerobert 8y agoShe's dumb because she thinks NYC now has 3 billions stacked somewhere that can now be used for other things like, the subway system, schools, teacher salaries, firefighters, farting cows, the unwilling to work, etc.
