No. Natasha will aim a webcam at her crotch, sign up for social services, and leave her vodka-fueled idiot lummox husband stuck in Ukraine.

Considering how they're fighting the Russians I'm betting they have a lot more character than you're giving them credit for.
Toyota put out an article about how they did the same kind of thing when they moved to Texas. An investigation happened and they did very little of what they said they did.

Okay.
Maybe they should have made the incentives dependent on the jobs promised, like Virginia's and New York's deals did.
They're on track to fulfill the jobs promised for hq2 in Virginia BTW.
Mr. Jordon's district does not include that part of New York or any a part of the entire state of New York for that matter. Furthermore, simply keep in mind what Tip O'Neil once said....."All politics is local" In keeping with that truth pay attention to what Amazon stated was their reason for pulling out of the deal....."Local Opposition"....They did NOT say....."Democrat Opposition". The opposition was well grounded.
1. Bezos put out a lot of neighborhood vendors out of business.
2. To locate where he wanted would have required substantial and expensive infrastructure upgrades along with relocations.
3. Would have driven up rents that were already placing stresses on residents.
4. COVID changed everything bringing on an entirely new economic dynamic. Working from home. While it may have created
25,000 new jobs....how many of them would be located in that building? A third? Perhaps half while the rest would be
scattered all over the country. Remember, all politics is local and in this case they didn't need AOC or anybody else for that
matter because a Texas con man like Bezos is a rank amateur and has no chance in NYC because the culture of the entire city
is based on hustlers and con artists.

Is what he said true? Quit deflecting. I’ll say that trump acted like a idiot and a narcissist. His policy was spot on for the most part.
And what policy was that? Tax breaks for trillionaires with mandated spending requiring record borrowing in order to cover mandated spending?
Jobs "promised" and jobs that they are legally required to create are not the same thing. You see, accountability is the issue. Too easy to simply say that business conditions have changed and use that as an excuse to skip out on the deal.

Yes they are.
Stop lying.
You're talking job fulfillment when they haven't even finished building the first phase of the place yet.

You understand the difference between a building and a job, right?
Of course you do, you're just deflecting, as always.
Talk about deflecting. You went off on promised job fulfillment when they're at least a year away from the building being ready for occupancy and even that's only a portion of the project with the rest not being ready for at least more 3 years.

Talk about deflecting.
They're on track to fill the jobs they said they would. They've already hired thousands.
You continue to ramble about a building.
LMFAO, it's like you're addicted to being wrong.
In a desperate to find some validity to you previous posts you're now trying to claim third party and temporary construction workers as part of the jobs created by Amazon. Now when the project is completed and they are laid off are they laid off by Amazon?

Inordinately Right
No, I'm not talking about construction workers.
I'm talking about thousands of permanent full time jobs paying an average salary of $150,000.
You're deflecting again.
You know, there's a lot to hate about Amazon without just making up crap like you're doing. Why do you people play these games?

No.
Try again.
Did an outside firm verify what the company is telling you?
