Believe it or not, the Amazon pullout wasn’t even the worst economic news for NY Dems this week

New York State managed to draw significant national media attention this week when Amazon decided to cancel its plan to open a new HQ in Queens. AOC, who apparently now runs the Democratic Party, immediately declared victory, having ensured that a caravan of tens of thousands of new, well-paying jobs wouldn’t invade the area. But as difficult as it may be to believe, that wasn’t the worst economic news New Yorkers had to face.




Amazon’s pullout Thursday wasn’t even the worst economic-development news for Gov. Cuomo this week: Just two days earlier, his economic-development czar basically admitted that the gov’s signature Buffalo Billion is a . . . Buffalo Bust.

In testimony Tuesday, Empire State Development boss Howard Zemsky tried to put a positive spin on it, but he acknowledged that Cuomo’s gamble of $750 million in taxpayer funds on a Buffalo solar-panel plant has bombed: On its current course, there’s zero sign it can host anything like the promised number of jobs.

The project “has got a better future than it has a past,” Zemsky lamely claimed, while admitting the state’s now looking at a Plan B: “I think we have to work with Panasonic and Tesla,” the firms running the plant, to diversify their product base. Maybe they should start making fairy dust?

Three-quarters of the Buffalo Billion ($750 million) went to the solar panel company, formerly known as Solar City before Tesla absorbed it. The rest of the billion hasn’t produced much either, but this investment was the centerpiece of the effort. After years of work, a grand total of 700 jobs were created and many of those may be disappearing if the company seriously tanks. So the taxpayers wound up paying more than a million dollars each for some engineering and manufacturing jobs that may not last out the year.

Joe, what’s going on? You used to understand funny. Your serious stuff was nonsense but the humor was good.
There’s nothing witty or humorous about this cartoon.

Who said it was supposed to be funny or witty?
Just the truth, I know you aren't interested in that or you wouldn't be a lib.

You are avoiding reality more than ever by attempting to convince your 2 or 3 virtual friends that it's the evil libs that made t do it. You sure put a lot of work into trolling the other 3 or 4 posters in here.
