Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez cheered Amazon.com Inc.’s decision to scrap plans for a corporate campus in New York City because of objections from some residents and politicians.
"Anything is possible: today was the day a group of dedicated, everyday New Yorkers & their neighbors defeated Amazon’s corporate greed, its worker exploitation, and the power of the richest man in the world," the outspoken progressive, who represents the Bronx and Queens in the U.S. House, wrote Thursday on Twitter following the company’s announcement.
