Ever since AOC screwed up New York’s chances at thousands of new jobs via Amazon she has been doing what she can to pretend she did New Yorkers a favor by crapping all over the e-GIANT. So of course, she used her ABC interview on Sunday to drag Amazon and Bezos …
Luckily (or unluckily if you’re AOC), Amazon defended themselves against her nonsense.
.@AOC is just wrong. Amazon is a leader on pay at $15 min wage + full benefits from day one. We also lobby to raise federal min wage. https://t.co/crWp5fPEzS

AOC is wrong? Seriously?
Gosh, that never happens.
Heh.
Can you get your sister media company to stop deifying princess clueless?

Good to see a major employer like @Amazon getting out there and aggressively correcting BS from politicians like #AOC.
Fair warning, though, @Amazonnews – don’t get too obsessed on correcting @AOC – it’s a full-time job. pic.twitter.com/FqkrbZq0u6

Trust us, it is.
Heh.
But at least we just laugh about most of it.
Unlike AOC who didn’t find Amazon’s ‘clapback’ nearly as entertaining as this editor did.
From “day one?” Really?
1 in 10 of Amazon’s Ohio employees were on food stamps after the company opened fulfillment centers in the state.
Paying full-time employees so little that they require gov food assistance is what paying starvation wages means.https://t.co/jJrWkxGONh https://t.co/B6guAikAOX

OH NO. NOT AN ARTICLE FROM THE DAILY BEAST!
How hard do you think Amazon laughed when they saw this tweet?
She continued:
If a person is working 40h/week & is paid so little that they need gov help to make ends meet, it’s not the person that’s a weight on our system – it’s the company.
People need to be paid a living wage. We stand up to co’s that rely on food stamps to make up for their low wages.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 18, 2019
Living wage.
K.
@Amazon is paying them $15 per hour, which is YOUR demanded "living wage"…and yet all you do is COMPLAIN like a spoiled child…

Let’s be real here. Liberals really don’t care about the people. They want higher pay because higher pay equals more tax revenue. That’s their end goal, don’t be fooled.
— Cronk (@chad_cronk) June 18, 2019
Most of us aren’t fooled.
Then maybe that person should improve their work skills so that their labor is worth more. The government cannot mandate value. You can't force me to pay more than I want to pay for a burger. That fact trickles back to the guys making the burgers.
