THE AMAZON HQ2 DEBACLE Amazon promised 25,000 new jobs in a new secondary headquarters called HQ2 in New York City in exchange for a $3 billion tax incentive. Suddenly, the rabble rousers and the protesters got restless and the deal was undone as Amazon decided to pull out. Is this a victory for the little guy? Tom lays it out.
Here are two of the articles Tom referenced in preparing for this episode: Amazon had New York City in the bag. Then left-wing activists got fired up and Amazon HQ2 defeat is a win for Queens activists but a ‘facepalm’ for tech leaders.

Fuck AOC
Crazy Bitch!
AMAZON HQ2 DEBACLE
Awesome episode, great topic. Nailed it; Love the 'Angry Tom'!
This Is What Happens...
When a small minority holds a city hostage. Its being blamed on unions though, but the real cause was the shrill objections by a very small portion of the NYC populace.
Guess what? All those jobs and opportunities are going to other places. Enjoy your decline, New York City and environs. No wonder your town is getting run into the ground.
Caged deathmatch
Can these two douchebags bozos and suckerburg fight till the death? I'm tired of hearing about both of them.
It Gets Even Better, Tom
Not satisfied with rebuffing Amazon, the idiots are going to boycott Amazon for pulling out.

What a shitshow.
Thanks AOC
Has AOC done anything positive since being elected? Women do not belong in leadership positions. What a hypocrite.
