To this, I ask, "Does Amazon really need the $3 billion tax break?" I get it. It is in a company's interest to get the best deal given what they can bring to a city but this idea of "let's get what we can" is increasing the perception of a greedy company that gets what it wants at any cost. Ocasio-Cortez was elected because of the growing perception that big companies only want to get all they can while leaving the common man in the poor house.
Ocasio-Cortez might have been wrong but Amazon and the politicians are just as guilty for not properly informing the people that would be affected on the benefits that Amazon would bring.
I expect this kind of result as long as big companies and politicians treat their constituents as if they know better and their constituents should accept the results.
