It's akin to putting up a jobs fair booth at a Black Lives Matter gathering.

The proposal would have had Amazon paying 27B in taxes.
The incentive to relocate to NY included a 3B tax break.

The net increase WOULD HAVE BEEN 24B tax influx.

Now that increase is zero and nobody gets a job. Are Democrats really this stupid? I think so. The clueless Bean & Cheese Ax Wound is claiming the 3B should be spent on social services. She's absolutely clueless.
Your zero net assumes that no other development will take place in that area. The area is booming , Manhattan is spilling over the 59 st bridge, the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn bridge. Billion dollar development is taking place avery where. People who argue for the Amazon deal don't understand the area. The company I work for has developed Billions of dollars of real estate in the past three years and we are only one of many.
