I don’t think it’s safe to assume Amazon will poach thousands of employees who won’t be replaced. They aren’t hiring obsoleting positions, they’re going to be hiring coders, logistics, finance, etc. They will be high demand jobs that will need to be replaced.I don't think it's safe to assume the employee will be replaced by a new, on-location employee. Not in today's economy.
I heard on the radio today that it was to be 25,000 jobs that averaged $150,000 each.I don’t think it’s safe to assume Amazon will poach thousands of employees who won’t be replaced.

You know wherever it ends up, someone will be doing their homework on how much money NY lost and use that against AOC in the next election.
Now, whether her voters care is another matter entirely.
Also wherever it ends up they will still receive some sort of incentive package from that state. It works that way with virtually every company in every state. It may be moot though because I read where they are just nixing the new facility altogether.
You have to understand her position. People making $150k aren’t going to be gung ho for socialism. She doesn’t want them voting against her.You know wherever it ends up, someone will be doing their homework on how much money NY lost and use that against AOC in the next election.

There is opportunity cost. Amazon moving in pushes other businesses (that would be paying full taxes) out. It's not like Amazon is going to be completely staffed by unemployed NYers, creating this huge boon to the city. They'll bring in some outsiders, but Amazon is largely going to be poaching employees from existing NY businesses (with an unfair tax advantage). These are like stadium deals for cities...the forecasts are ********.

They're going to be hiring for all kinds of skills. Most would be replaced, just not necessarily by new employees in NY (as I said). Roles will be consolidated, jobs will be given to remote employees, outsourced to 3rd parties, etc.
A web services company I worked for had an office in Utah an office in Arizona. A few key people in Utah left the company and they closed the Utah office, and some of us moved to AZ (others found new jobs).
Meh, its just the State Capital....
