So didn't they just relocate to another city and bring jobs there? That would be even better, new York got plenty of money, they don't need no Amazon.Quote:

None of them are as bad as we’ve made them out to be. Politics has become the WWE- faces vs heels/pick a side.Quote:

She obviously and quite clearly doesn’t know the difference between a tax break and a government handout. She believes the government can still spend money it will no longer generate.Quote:

To your earlier point about how NYC doesn’t need the money, in her district that it does and that’s her main responsibility, her district.Quote:

Sarah Palin never had a job which impacted the US as a whole. She ran as a Republican VP and had a standard Republican platform when she did. She was very milk toast just said a lot of stupid stuff when it came to foreign affairs because she had no experience outside of Alaska. However, the criticism of Sarah Palin was tremendous while AOC seems to be pardoned for her own stupidity.Quote:

Maybe she asked the president. Nobody knows more about anything then him.
