These deals always workout bad for the taxpayer.Amazon is no Golden GooseThat was one of my biggest gripes with him.
You should gripe more because we had to start piggy-backing on Russian and Chinese missiles, after NASA was shut down.
Our Space Program used to dominate ...bar none
But we sold out to Supply Side Economics and traded off for tax cuts for billionaires
Ask AOC, Bloomberg, and NYC how much they're going to miss the revenue from the tax cuts they were going to give Amazon. I think even they would disagree with you now.
NYC doesn’t need them
As Amazon builds up its distribution network, it’s hit on a trick long practiced by the likes of Walmart: using the federal government to help pay its workers. A new study by Policy Matters Ohio found that more than 700 Amazon employees receive food stamps, or more than 10 percent of the tech giant’s 6,000-strong workforce in the state. Some of those recipients may be part-time help, but the fact that they need federal aid to survive suggests that they would be happy to work more. “Why is this giant, successful company offering such limited pay and hours of work that many of its workers need help buying food?” asked Zach Schiller, research director at Policy Matters.

I agree. But the word is used so frivolously at this point, that a working definition would be helpful.I'd need to know what countries you consider socialist.So what groundbreaking things have socialism/communism ever contributed to this world, aside from what they stole from capitalist countries?
Do France, Germany, England, Canada and Australia count as socialist for you? They certainly have more socialist elements than we do.
.
Do they control the means of production?
Outside of medical (malpractice) "care" they do not.

New and exciting ways of murdering the populace. Over 100 million dead and counting.Most every advancement in technology, medicine, agriculture, transportation, communication, construction, energy and power, etc. this world has ever seen was conceived and developed by countries that practiced a capitalist ideology. Yet many Democrats are pushing socialism, the goal of which is communism as Lenin explained.
So what groundbreaking things have socialism/communism ever contributed to this world, aside from what they stole from capitalist countries?
Stalinists? Nazis?
You're talking about DICTATORS
We can all agree that distators suck. Odd that you support Trump. He LOVES dictators and attacks leaders of Democratic governments
As far as Socialism
Socialism is the government ownership of the means of production.
Clearly that is not our system
Oh...some say that socialism is the ownership "or regulation" of the means of production.
Well we all agree that regulation is required. Doctors being licensed for instance is regulation. That makes it socialism. Food being manufactured in a safe manner is regulation. Clearly necessary and according to that definition...that is socialism
So what we're really saying is NOT that "SOCIALISM" is inherently bad but rather...how much socialism is required to mitigate the excesses of capitalism.
Doesn't sound nearly as scary in that more accurate context...does it.
Well, they call it "Democratic Socialism", which seems like a dumb term to use.I agree.

The democrats wish to portray the European nations as "socialist" in order to put lipstick on the pig. After the financial meltdown of 2008, Europe went on a program of "Austerity." As a result, Finland, the beloved example the Stalinist democrats hold out as to why Marxism is really best, actually is LESS of a welfare state than the USA is.
The democrats have 340 million potential victims they are just ITCHING to get going on. Yes, they will START by genocide of white men, but they sure won't stop there...
How many of those advancements in the US have come from state-funded research, like the Internet, for example?
Stalinists? Nazis?

Well, they call it "Democratic Socialism",
So now we have switched from saying that socialism is an inherent evil to idiot claims that Dems are wannabe dictators.Stalinists? Nazis?

DICTATORS, yes - the goal of the democrats.
democrats ARE a Stalinist party. The goal of current democrats is to recreate the Soviet Union in America. Frankly, you never got over the fall.
Licensing is hardly government control of the means of production, moron.

Da Comrade.
50,000 jobs from vile capitalist pigs cannot be allowed in GLORIOUS peoples city..
Wow, cool post.They were quite different: read up on the subject.Wrong moron.Yet, they stole their space and missile technology from a capitalist country, Germany. Or from us, as in the case of China.
But I will give them credit for the AK-47. That is one magnificent piece of machinery.
According to most Trumbots, Nazi Germany was socialist.
BTW - The U.S. missile and space programs were initially developed by German scientists as well.
According to the doctrine of nazism it was socialist.
Nazism is NATIONAL socialism communism is INTERNATIONAL socialism
Clinging to the lie that Nazism is somehow different than the Stalinism they follow is vital to the Communists. In fact, the governments of Hitler and Stalin were virtually identical, as will the the government that democrats impose on an enslaved America should they gain enough power.
But fast-forward today, Trump now thinks he's in germany 80 years ago.
You didn't bother to read what you cited, the Wiki article confirms what I said - you Stalinists are identical to Nazis.
Let's looks at Nazis with you democrat Stalinists?
Violent hatred of non-party members?
Concentration Camps?
Violent suppression of opposition ideas?
Use of Brown Shirt type thugs?
Oppression of religion?
Totalitarian?
Violent oppression of free speech?
Newspeak is an utterly useless Bolshevik hate rag. I don't bother with them or ThinkProgress.

This stupid shit again?
If you don't like welfare, take action. Any "foodstamps" (you can tell the demagogues when they use terms 30 years out of date) workers get is due to federal and state programs.
Or are you one of those "free market" types who seeks a $15 an hour minimum wage?
Uh, Victorian England was capitalist.Compared to capitalism, what has socialism and communism ever produced or manufactured?
Death, privation, oppression, ignorance, pestilence...
Dickens wrote about it extensively.Uh, Victorian England was capitalist.Compared to capitalism, what has socialism and communism ever produced or manufactured?

Thanks for your bullshit opinion.
Your hatred and hyperbole concerning "your enemy" is well noted
