.AOC gloated over her objection to housing an Amazon headquarters in NYC after its construction near Washington, DC, was halted amid large job cuts. Ocasio-Cortez said this vindicated her concerns that the project was a 'scam of public funds.'
Ocasio-Cortez said the halting of construction vindicated her concerns that the project was a"scam of public funds.""When I opposed this Amazon project coming to New York bc it was a scam of public funds, the whole power establishment came after us," she tweeted."Billboards went up in Times Sq denouncing me. Powerful pols promised revenge. Op-Eds & CEOs insulted my intelligence. In the end, we were right.
"I know I’ll never get an apology for that time, but it was worth it," she continued."We protected NYers from a scam deal to drain public dollars from schools & infrastructure in exchange for empty promises of 'Amazon jobs' w/ 0 guarantees or guardrails. Sadly, cities who took it are suffering."We protected NYers from a scam deal to drain public dollars from schools & infrastructure in exchange for empty promises of “Amazon jobs” w/ 0 guarantees or guardrails.
Amazon said its new headquarters was projected to house 50,000 employees and bring billions in funding for local workers. Virginia fought off several other states in its pursuit of attracting the tech giant to settle just outside the nation's capital. While the Big Tech behemoth has poured funding into the region and its surrounding neighborhoods in anticipation of the new building, it has suffered steep financial losses after it built itself up during the pandemic. Since November 2022, Amazon has cut more than 18,000 workers and scaled back projects in other states.
