Why.....? Well progressives started to complain about the big tax break Amazon got as an incentive to move there so they went on the war path....! Result, no move, no jobs, zero taxes for the public coffers in New York....! Way to go....! Great job liberals, democrats, progressives, you killed the Golden Goose that was going to nest in your fair (not so fair state actually) state.....! Cut off your nose to spite your face once again...! When will you learn that business and capitalism are not your enemy....? And of course this theme I present you now will not be presented on MSNBC or CNN. It will be ignored..... Look over here folks, Russia collusion....! Look here...! Chris

New York mayor blasts Amazon for 'throwing away' the chance for an HQ in the city as the tech giant CANCELS its plans amid protests led by Democrat rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over its huge company tax break and 'worker exploitation'
Amazon said on Thursday it was canceling its plans to build a headquarters in Long Island City in Queens
It is a stunning reversal to an ambitious plan that would have brought an estimated 25,000 jobs to the city
Amazon had faced fierce opposition from local politicians, including Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Critics were angered $3 billion in tax breaks and incentives Amazon was set to receive as part of the deal
Mayor Bill de Blasio, who had lobbied intensely to land the headquarters, slammed Amazon on Thursday for throwing away an opportunity
The retail giant announced its plans back in November to build the complex in Queens following a widely publicized search for its second headquarters
Amazon said on Thursday it did not plan to re-open the yearlong search that drew 238 proposals from cities across North America
