--- Quote ---All of those real estate speculators who snatched up Queens real estate late last year are about to be very unhappy.
In what some might describe as a "dick move", Amazon is reportedly reconsidering its plans to open a sprawling new corporate headquarters in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens after New York State lawmakers who are opposed to the lucrative package of "performance based incentives" threatened to sabotage the deal, according to a report in the Washington Post.
The report adds to the pressure on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to put a stop to a lawmakers' nomination to a state board that could give him authority to unilaterally kill the incentives package.
Since the final package of state and city incentives isn't expected to be approved until 2020, Amazon executives are reportedly questioning whether it's worth the risk for the company to hope that restive lawmakers don't kill the deal.

If the Marxist Gov was worried about revenues before, wait till he looses this golden goose. Expect AOC to meet with a nail gun suicide in the near future.

"Netflix has shelled out a whopping $10 million for the rights to broadcast a documentary that follows the primary campaign of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez", let's see if this softens her opposition.

The Rats will probably offer $20 Mill not to run it. The only reason she won is because of the messed up NY State election laws. Not because she did anything impressive.

Bezo should pack his bags and zip his fly and pick another city for his HQ2. NY is not the place to be.
