Oh please, spare us. Have you ever even been to NYC recently? While it would have been nice to have, NYC did most certainly not need Amazon. Not by a long shot. Prices there are going through the roof because it is rapidly becoming a spectacularly wealthy, high-tech, ultramodern, futuristic World City. It needs Amazon about as much as Aspen, Colorado needs another ski slope.
Places like NYC turn away companies like Amazon, because they can.
Family, Faith, Community and my Country mean a whole lot to to me and most Americans plus so much more.
But just try putting food on your table without a good job and money. Yeah we know you are a good Communist. You are in the minority. Capitalism is a much better system.
Keep your Communism. I'll take my good job and it's benefits that Capitalism provides.
Iranian troll wants to be down America through hate.
This is the perfect example of "can't see the forest for the trees".
NY lost all those jobs, revenue, side businesses and growth for it's people. They complain about not having enough good jobs and one lands on their lap and they toss it off like a hot potato. Crazy.

My parents are.
But that's besides the point. I understand, like millions of Americans in the past, that an economy based on loans, credit, rent, speculations, and corporate consolidation/collusion is not in the interests of democracy, freedom, or the average person.
Where do you think agrarian populism came from. It was against the financial authority over the economy.
Sadly people today are brainwashed into thinking economic is a moral good and all policy should promote it regardless of the fact that it just gives more power to highly concentrated areas of wealth.
New Yorkers should wake up and realize this is what you get when you vote for these "fresh, new progressive "Democratic Socialists" .
It should be a lesson for those in other liberal run areas too. Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.
These people are anti business.
