And just so you know....it was all ceremonial anyway. Most of the west coast states, where Amazon is, already have shitloads of state and city ordinances enforcing minimum wages that are $15+/hour. I doubt very much that any significant % of Amazon's workforce saw much of anything.
Meanwhile, Amazon made $11B last year and paid no tax. Great job Bern!!!
Wal-mart, Target, and many other large employers are crumpling to the lefty message of $15/hour. Bezos is just part of that trend. Bernie didn't do that.
Furthermore, I asked you what the guy's signature accomplishment is. He's been a legislator for 600 years now and you're telling me that the best thing he ever did was scream at a billionaire indirectly through a TV camera???
To be clear here....you're telling me that the best thing Bernie ever did actually has nothing to do with his job. You can't point to anything he's done in 8,000 years in his capacity as Senator that even matters.
And AOC vs Amazon. LOL. Even DiBlasio thinks AOC was a retard on this. Here, let me walk you through it.
Amazon: We'd like to build in NYC
NYC: Ok, we'll charge you $30B in taxes
Amazon: Well, we're also talking to Boston
NYC: Whoa whoa whoa, don't go with them. Look, we'll cut you a break ok....$27B??
Amazon: you got a deal
AOC: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH. But like uh....we can do something better with 3B than give it to amazon. like, we could, ya know, spend it on new yorkers, like uh yeah, ya know!!
Amazon: we're not going anywhere near that crazy cunt
Do you see what happened there? AOC thought she was standing up against the government spending $3B on tax breaks for amazon. But in reality she just cost her district 27B in tax revenue....PLUS thousands of jobs.
there's no nuance there. She really is that dumb.
It's really really weird that you bring *that* up as *bernie's* signature accomplishment.
Holy fuck dude.......you need a new idol
