Progressive lawmakers cheer Amazon's HQ2 reversal
|
[New York Post] Opponents of Amazon’s plan to come to Queens were popping the champagne corks Thursday after the company announced it was backing out of the deal, with some calling it a major victory for the progressive movement.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called the decision a victory over "corporate greed" and over the retail giant’s billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos.
"Anything is possible," the Bronx/Queens Democrat tweeted. "Today was a day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world."
She later incorrectly claimed the $3 billion in subsidies that would have gone to Amazon could be used to hire teachers, fix the subway and "put a lot of people to work."
