“Shark Tank” host Kevin O’Leary appeared on CNN the other morning and raised some hackles by calling New York City “uninvestable.” He then “attacked” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for killing jobs.
Shark Tank's @kevinolearytv calls New York an "uninvestable" regulatory and tax environment, then attacks Rep. @AOC as "great at killing jobs, she kills jobs by the thousands."

Shark Tank's @kevinolearytv goes off on lib policies of NY, NJ, MA, CA:
"California, out of business. El morte … I don't know what that place will turn into. Maybe a tourist zone, but no business. Imagine San Francisco. You can't even walk at night out in the street. Sorry." pic.twitter.com/W0VKbkINVH

Word got back to Ocasio-Cortez that she’d been “attacked” (yet again) and she fired back with this brilliant comeback:
If it’s so “uninvestable,” then why is NYC home to some of the most billionaires in the world?
This is what billionaires do. They leverage their power to gain platforms and spread unsubstantiated claims to push policies that are even more favorable to them than they already are. https://t.co/RdVXesgZZo

😂😂 “Some of the most billionaires?”
— Jack Vale (@jackvale) March 3, 2023
They live in NYC. They do not create jobs there.

Because they can afford to live there? And even so, they are drifting toward Florida. Like O'Leary, who lives in Miami. pic.twitter.com/VMxyJrGm2b

They live there, they don’t invest there. How are you this slow and still get people to retweet you? You killed jobs in your district.

They are fleeing in droves to red states. Thank you… we will take them with their money & jobs

The billionaires aren't living their to invest. They are living there to consume.
They like your opera houses. Your museums. Your sports arenas. Your fine dining.
They're not "investing" or building businesses there unless they can't build them anywhere else.

Look at your city rent. You really flexing old money? All bad

Do billionaires only live where they invest?
What does ‘some of the most billionaires’ even mean?
— Eric Friedman (@EMF_13) March 3, 2023
Where billionaires live has nothing to do with where they put their companies/factories… geez.
— Thomas Theriault ☀️ (@ThomasTheriault) March 4, 2023
Living here doesn’t mean they made their billions by investing here.

He nailed it 👍

Or they move their business operations to Texas like your dearest friend @elonmusk

Everyone's moving to Florida and Texas.

I love it when politicians go at billionaires from some point of moral high ground as if their moral compass isn’t just as far off.

Northern VA thanks you for the Amazon jobs!

Not only is AOC great at killing jobs – but she’s getting personally rich doing it. All she’s ever cared about is herself.
Fraud. fake. phony.
— Catturd ™ (@catturd2) March 3, 2023
Sure, some of the most billionaires live in New York City — they can afford to. They probably also have a primary residence in another low-tax state or are getting ready to move to one.
Has AOC done anything to attract investment in New York? Taxes and regulations seem to be the sticking point, and she’s all for more of both.
