#2 Who wants $150,000/year jobs when you can flip burgers and make change for $10, $12, $15/hour?

#6 "Let's really rub Amazon's nose in it. We'll go on strike from the jobs we didn't get. That'll show those evil capitalist bastiges we can't be bullied."

#7 Turn about is fair play. Bezos gets screwed by his own politics.

#10 When they drive out all the businesses, only then will they find they have no more power.

Then they will ask for a government bailout.

#13 Cuomo is really P.O.ed at AOC. I anticipate bad mojo is sent AOCs way by some on the now conflicted leftist camp, Stalin Style.

#17 "So how'd it happen Chief?"

"Bet they had a pickup truck too Chief."

"Yes they did. Yes they did."
