Amazon is pulling it's HQ from New York! An OPPORTUNITY for Mount Pleasant after the Foxscam Fiasco Failure. Zerohedge Reports: As it turns out, those reports about Amazon reconsidering its plan to build one of its "HQ2s" in the Queens neighborhood of Long Island City weren't just trial balloons intended as a warning to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to get his people in line. Because in a Thursday announcement that will undoubtedly be heralded as a major victory by "Democratic Socialists" like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the e-commerce giant announced that it would scrap its plans to move to New York City, much to the chagrin of Cuomo and de Blasio, who signed off on a $3 billion package of "performance based" state, city and public-private incentives offered to Amazon. Amazon shares have rallied in the aftermath of the announcement. But the ramifications for New York State politics will be far more profound. Amazon didn't mince words in its statement, placing the blame for its decision to deprive the state of what Cuomo's office once described as one of the biggest economic boons in recent decades squarely on the shoulders of progressive New York lawmakers who objected to the deal. The decision to pull out of NYC comes after New York State lawmakers nominated one of the deal's fiercest opponents to a state board that would grant him the power to unilaterally kill the state component of the incentive package. NYC progressives and "Democratic socialists" like AOC can claim a major victory over their corporate adversaries. Queens real-estate brokers on the other hand are reacting with a mix of "shock, anger and disbelief" as condo sales soared in the wake of the Amazon deal... https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-14/bezos-pulls-out-amazon-scraps-plan-ny-hq2 Things in MTP favor: 1. The opposition to Foxconn was completely crushed by the questionably legal actions of the government - which was held to be unaccountable by any reasonable standard. 2. The extreme and questionably legal damage to the Residents and Environment has already been accomplished. Farmland has been peramentally destroyed. 3. Huge taxpayer commitments have been made, massive debt taken on, debt service increased, while bond ratings have dropped - forcing larger interest payments on debt service to Banksters. 4. Foxconn has already admitted that Wisconsin Workers can't compete in a Global Economy and that their plans have changed. They intend to manufacture -ZERO- product in MTP. 5. Racine County Residents can't afford to pay the additional costa and debt service for the Foxscam Fiasco Failure - and they will need relief. ALA a PLAN "B" 6. Instead of plan "B" being bankruptcy - it might be "B"ezos - as in Amazon locating it's HQ in MTP. 7. Local Residents have already been beaten into submission - Farmland destroyed - and infrastructure is nearly ready - since Foxconn has changed it's plans - open the door to Jeff Bezos/Amazon and prosperity he will bring to MTP. BRING IT ON! Sincerely, Tim & Cindy
