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.

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.
I'm smart and don't understand districting.
