They were the same tax discounts offered to the other competitive businesses, and had a 5:1 ROI and would make 25,000 new jobs in tech industries that represent everything liberals want
AOC wasn't even the direct cause, just the easy target and figurehead for the most pro-union anti-business electorate that Amazon feared. It was what she represents though, so its fair to pin it on her.
these other businesses shouldnt be offered tax discounts either.
and her electorate doesnt want high-paying high-skill tech jobs - they arent qualified for such jobs and thus couldnt benefit from them directly; and an influx of such jobs to their city would just drive up housing and services prices for them. they want a low price environment in which they can live like a king with the mediocre wages their government or university job is paying.
