Democratic socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) responded on Feb. 21 to a billboard which lambasted her for celebrating the cancellation of Amazon’s plans to build its second headquarters in New York City.
The digital billboard, posted in New York City’s Times Square, points out that the pullout of the online retail giant means the city and state lost the prospect of 25,000 jobs, $4 billion in wages, and $12 billion in economic activity.
