Letter from NY Governor: about Amazon tax breaks (ny.gov)

It's interesting that a lot of the media companies who criticized the tax incentives given to Amazon - The NY Times, the NY Post, Warner Media (CNN) - are themselves recipients of significant tax incentives from NY.


Why is it interesting?

I mean, I understand that Cuomo used it as an attack-the-messenger sort of thing.

But just because the corporate owners do the same thing doesn't mean it's not a valid criticism.


Wow. This fool thinks that Amazon employees earn $75/hr. He could generate 25,000 jobs with a stroke of pen by approving fracking in his state. But it would violate his religious beliefs.
