[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5228573, member: 58386"] Mr. Jordon's district does not include that part of New York or any a part of the entire state of New York for that matter. Furthermore, simply keep in mind what Tip O'Neil once said....."All politics is local" In keeping with that truth pay attention to what Amazon stated was their reason for pulling out of the deal....."Local Opposition"....They did NOT say....."Democrat Opposition". The opposition was well grounded. 1. Bezos put out a lot of neighborhood vendors out of business. 2. To locate where he wanted would have required substantial and expensive infrastructure upgrades along with relocations. 3. Would have driven up rents that were already placing stresses on residents. 4. COVID changed everything bringing on an entirely new economic dynamic. Working from home. While it may have created 25,000 new jobs....how many of them would be located in that building? A third? Perhaps half while the rest would be scattered all over the country. Remember, all politics is local and in this case they didn't need AOC or anybody else for that matter because a Texas con man like Bezos is a rank amateur and has no chance in NYC because the culture of the entire city is based on hustlers and con artists.
