New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio slammed Jeff Bezos as a 1-percent elitist whose company victimized poorer New Yorkers by ending its HQ2 plans for the city with an “out-of-the-blue” telephone call.
“Here’s Bezos and here’s Amazon, the definition of 1 percent,” De Blasio said on WNYC public radio. “Look how little regard there was for everyday people. And it just dispels the notion that these big corporations are willing to be good citizens and good neighbors.”
