You and your ilk are precisely the problem here. Comfortable, privileged, and condescending to real world people.

Yeah. People are always complaining that there are no programs for NYCHA residents to help them out of generational poverty & to improve their station in life. And now, there's this woman (young, privileged) on NY1 saying she's happy and that "we" don't need Amazon's philanthropy. I'm not a violent person but I wanted to punch her. It sounded so condescending.

Or go to DC and Nashville, where the local community welcomes them with open arms and local pols are happy to work with them and jointly collaborate on various projects, from expanding infrastructure like public transportation or educating local kids in schools, etc. This is no skin off AMZN back.

So their pretense that this was for some larger social good is hypocritical.
White supremacy is also on the left. Don't forget that now.

But are you surprised? It's the same privileged left leaning people who rail against genetically modified foods which have the potential to alleviate the famine of millions of the worlds poor and that spread misinformation about vaccines blabbering about pseudo-science

Again....ZERO - NONE of those 25k jobs were going to his consistency nor the support jobs - In fact this would put pressure to basically get rid of the low income housing near Queensbridge....

Why are people fooled into thinking this would be a boon for poor low income people in NY????
