Very debatable. There was no apparent united front against Amazon.


There were a lot of loud opponents who mischaractetized things to a large extent, to make points against the really big. Unfortunately, AOC is getting the loudest bullhorn, and she's just wrong. How she characterizes incentives, just kind of cheerleading a protest movement based on hatred of the man. Union opposition as I understand it was mostly not about jobs, but about Amazon's general anti union stance. The practical side of this issue was mostly muted. The side demonizing big corporate America was loud.

Here's a general thought - I bet de Blasio supports the LIC deal and anti trust measures against Amazon at the same time. That's the value of his executive experience. It is not clear that the Amazon exit is what "the community" wanted. It is clear that Amazon decided life's too short to deal with NYC.
