You see this a lot because conservatives have a hate-on for AOC, but she's not the congressperson for the area Amazon were building in. Queens has a lot of congressional districts.

She also had very little to nothing to do with the decision, but again, you wouldn't know that from watching the conservative commentary.

My mistake, I was under the impression she was the congressperson for the area. She was a prominent critic of the project, and factored into the failure to some extent. I also don't consider myself to be conservative, just disappointed in the grandstanding against the project.

She's dumb and doesn't understand that giving away 3 billion to a company is good and also tax credits aren't giveaways because reasons.

I'm smart and don't understand districting.

Her district is like a mile away from the proposed Amazon office, she has the bully pulpit of the nation 1000x more than any other congressperson in the area does, she talked a lot about the Amazon plan, and celebrated helping destroy it. I don't think it's unreasonable to bring up her incorrect understanding of how tax credits work.

> "We were subsidizing those jobs. The city was paying for those jobs. So frankly, if we're willing to give away away $3 billion for this deal, we could invest $3 billion in our district ourselves if we want to. We could hire out more teachers, we can fix our subways, we can put a lot of people to work for that money if we wanted to."

She's dumb because she thinks NYC now has 3 billions stacked somewhere that can now be used for other things like, the subway system, schools, teacher salaries, firefighters, farting cows, the unwilling to work, etc.
