Jury is still out for me regarding AOC. I want to like her. I do like her by default. But I'm annoyed by what I consider her utter lack of preparation for the job. Almost Trumpian. She's starry-eyed and full of enthusiasm, which is great. But she sure does have a lot to learn about real life. She's about 1/2 year older than my daughter, so I view her from that perspective. I want to encourage her to work for what she wants and to set high bars. But I also want to encourage her to use restraint and understand that she needs to learn the game before she can play it. She's made a number of foolish and naive moves, and has been swatted with the rolled up newspaper by Pelosi. Hopefully she'll learn quickly and can become not only a voice, but an effective voice for meaningful change."I'll use the magic word - let's just shut the fuck up, please." EV, 04/13/080

She's pushing the old democrats with bold ideas and I think that's a great thing. I agree she has a lot to learn but she seems like an honest player (and on the right side of the issues and fight) and we could use more of that type in positions of power.jeffbr said:Jury is still out for me regarding AOC.

And she pisses off a lot of Republicans, I like that, a lot.0 -
Her ideas sre literally the worst thought out of any politician,save for Trumps, that I have heard. Pretty sure ahe is trying to make a bame for herself, unfortunately she is going to be right beside Bernie Sanders in the public court of opinion.0

Amazon invites Ocasio-Cortez for tour, calls worker claims untrue

Her comments, if true make amazon awful.
her coments, if not true make AOC slanderous and guilty of libel.

“When the community wanted to negotiate, Amazon said ‘all or nothing.’ They bailed when they didn’t get 100% of what they wanted,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Google came into NYC just fine. Amazon wanted to be Foxconn.”
Huh, shes pretty new and she’s already calling the kettle black.
She might learn some negotiating tactics, here suck ass.hippiemom = goodness0 -
Someone said it earlier, but I am starting to think she's the left Trump (without the overt corruption and philandering), inasmuch as she uses overheated rhetoric and invents connections between events.cincybearcat said:

Yup. And it goes to show people don’t hate the tactic if they agree with the politics. Scarymrussel1 said:

Jeff Bezos’ net worth is $141.35 BILLION dollars and he wanted $3BB in tax incentives. Fuck him. He could self fund his $3BB tax wish ten times and not feel an ounce of pain in his life style or amount of wealth. Fuck him and his greed.

It's a public company, there's a board of directors and shareholders. The state would earn that back many times over without a sniff. They could have rebuilt the subway infrastructure which is in dire need in that area. The state and city are both refusing to put up the money. While you're right, Bezos could have paid the tax credit, now there will be nothing. I'm sorry, there's no scenario where it's net net positive for 25k planned job, high paying jobs, leaving. No matter how many ways someone spins what amazon could do. Now they'll do nothing.Halifax2TheMax said:Jeff Bezos’ net worth is $141.35 BILLION dollars and he wanted $3BB in tax incentives. Fuck him.

Sure they took a stand and lost the jobs. What a tremendous victory of principle for the white people who didn't want them there. And the 75% of minorities that did, lose out.Halifax2TheMax said:
