You can continue to misrepresent things and then condemn those you say are misrepresenting things I suppose.
Oh, misrepresent things. LOL. That's rich. Lack of government confiscation is not a subsidy. Taxes are not an investment. and calling an illegal alien "undocumented" does not diminish the person's criminal offense. The left continuously misrepresents many things using language, and when the truth is substituted for the left's sleight of hand, they accuse people of misrepresentation. Sure. Alinsky would be proud.

AOC & DeBlasio may be able to bring back the 1970's NYC, where wondering if it would exist long-term, was a legitimate question.
Thank God Rudy G & Bloomberg rescued it from its depths of despair era.
She can speak as well as Trump. I'll argue that a proper rebuttal is not name calling.
We are not hiring a sales force. She has zero applicable experience. Trumps entire life has built an acumen of knowledge about international business relations. "The nations business is business."
Name calling? You must be referring to somebody else's post.

We heard him say what a great negotiator he is. He isn't. As far as name calling goes, I was speaking about Trump.
I hate to break it to you but you can take it to the bank that Amazon got tax breaks from EVERY SINGLE ONE of those 17 cities.
When their tenure ends up in each of those cities, they'll approach them again threatening to move unless they get more tax incentives.
This isn't just Amazon though, it's an extremely common practice these days.
And every single one of those cities is wrong for doing so. If the taxing policies of a city or state need to be revamped to compete with the market, that's one thing. But it's a completely different thing to make special deals with big companies just to get them to relocate here or there or wherever. Because that's not allowing the market to work. Instead it is local governments playing favorites with the tax system to favor one company over another. It distorts the free market from working.
As for the jobs being lost, well, if there was a market reason for Amazon to have those jobs, they will have them. Just somewhere else than NY. Those of you crying over NY might lose those jobs, were you crying over Nashville or any of the other cities that lost out to NY?

I was crying over Miami not getting them.
Reality though is I own some properties here, would love to take advantage of the market hype and sell.
Why do Amazon employees moan about being overworked if they are making six-figure salaries, as stated upthread?
