They could have had a 10:1 return on investment but those idiots are too short-sighted.

Unfortunately this is about to start happening in Baton Rouge if the public doesn't get TBR and their propaganda under control.

Congresswoman Alexandria Occasional-Cortex forced that issue. She's for the working people, you know, just helped with her rhetoric to push away, what? +/-25,000 jobs?

quote:

“A small group of politicians put their own narrow political interests above their community — which poll after poll showed overwhelmingly supported bringing Amazon to Long Island City — the state’s economic future and the best interests of the people of this state,” the governor said in a statement.


Too bad our Governor and Mayor didn't say that about our School Board and Exxon.

Idiots like AOC are out there saying stuff like "we can take that $3 billion and invest it in our communities." They honestly believe that New York was going to cut Amazon a check for $3,000,000,000.00.
