Maybe it&#x27;s me but why is it all AMZN&#x27;s fault? You have a hostile local government, labor unions that are already planning to work against you, a community that doesn&#x27;t want you there, etc.<p>I don&#x27;t blame them at all, they have a business to run and in this day and age there are places that are more welcoming and appreciating.<p>It&#x27;s funny how the Mayor and Gov of NY are out saying it&#x27;s all AMZN&#x27;s fault while AOC and cohorts are publicly celebrating the fact that they worked hard to get rid of them and were successful.<p>The Gov and Mayor should call out their own folks&#x2F;Anti Business Dems before calling out AMZN.<p><i></i>3 Billion in incentives that would only come into fruition as AMZN met it&#x27;s obligations<i></i> was nothing compared to the prosperity they would have created. The lesson here is don&#x27;t openly attack someone trying to bring jobs and business to your State&#x2F;City and then cry when they decide to leave.
