equality of opportunity rather than equality of results

But instead, NYC won’t get the $27 billion in new tax revenues. The grifters overplayed their hand but in typical socialist fashion, they’re casting blame to all corners of the globe and taking none on themselves.  Remember comrade, Socialism cannot fail, it can only be failed.

I’m less interested in how it got started then how it ended. Liberals, being unable to understand the lessons of history, can only see how they’re going to stick it to the man, and absolutely nothing after that, but honestly, 100 years of conservative rule after a brief explosive time of liberal fantasy fulfillment is…

Welp under the bus goes poor Kamala! What did she do to the Kool Kidz at Splinter? Insufficiently Black?  It is nice to see you guys do Trump’s work for him though, so keep it up

Good point, nothing in history ever repeats itself, said nobody ever

Napoleon, who was the result of the French Revolution, once said ‘Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.’  Leftists never can effect change without going way overboard.  You can see it in the comments here, and in our national politics.  They’ve gotten their inch so they’ll try to take a foot, then…

It’s almost like the young bloggers of SplinterKidzNewz didn’t learn about the French Revolution, or maybe they’re not in 9th grade yet.  The good news about that though at the end of it, a bunch of ‘radical’ leftists ended up separated from their heads via the very same mechanism they put in place for ‘change’

Bezos can afford it. He can also afford dispatch centers at both ends, and charge people to use the tunnel. If you’ve ever commuted in from Jersey before, you know there’s a real demand for more crossings. I know there’s not much chance of it happening, but it’s a fun thought exercise. The schadenfreude of seeing the…

There’s a higher cost of doing business in NYC than anywhere else. Throw the shakedown costs on top of that and it’s not nearly as attractive as NYC chauvinists seem to think, which is why it was easy for Amazon to walk away.  The money they’re save on the shakedown can be better invested elsewhere

That’s what the NYC Shakedown Operation is counting on, but Amazon doesn’t have to play.  It’s not like the citizens of NYC are going to all of a sudden stop ordering from Amazon.  I’ll go on and assume that if Google tried to dramatically expand their NYC presence to make up the gap left by Amazon in your scenario,…

People have clearly demonstrated in this thread that they don’t understand how congress works.  I mean, most people are taught this in middle school.  If you’re lacking a middle school education, you’re the definition of low information.

So riddle me this, race warriors: If you’re going to saddle my children and eventual grandchildren with direct payments to people for hazy reasons like “historical injustice to their ancestors”, does that mean we can dismantle the entire apparatus of the Equal Opportunity commission, and job quotas around Blacks? …

Amazon jobs were going to average $150k/yr.  In other words more than anybody who works for GMG.  That’s why there’s so much hatred for Amazon here, none of these bloggers have the skills to work at Amazon

Nah, they could put them in Northern Jersey and Long Island and do just fine, and save a ton on real estate and taxes in the process.  Hell, Bezos could build another tunnel under the hudson if he wanted

AOC and her fellow adherents to Modern Monetary Theory claim that you can just print as much money as you want and nobody needs to work. It’s working out swimmingly in Venezuela, no reason it can’t work in Queens!  Also, if you don’t get in line with her reality, you’re literally Hitler

I can’t tell you how much I hope Amazon tells these grifters to go fuck themselves.  Then I hope the locals remember who cost them a shot at good jobs.

Just enough to buy a set of spinnin rimz

I should have figured that the raw data was too difficult for a SplinterKid. Here’s the analysis,

You want more Trump? This is how you get more Trump.
