Oh, there's plenty of stupid to go around on this one. They all get a whopping share. But, I bet if you ask anyone in the area who it was that caused Amazon to pull out, A-oc will be your number one answer.
Ocasio-Cortez “Green New Deal” sets a goal of shifting the nation to 100 percent “clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, within 10 years.” Her office released a document that said that “The Green New Deal will not include investing in new nuclear power plants and will transition away from nuclear to renewable power sources only.”
St. Cloud is still ranked #1, I believe?
I suppose I assumed that there were Baby Boomers retiring everywhere- even outside of the defined area.
They are and the NY area has more people and therefore has more retirees. They are more than welcome here in purple Florida. We hare having 80 degree weather here now.
Sweden has three operational nuclear power plants, which produce about 40% of the country's electricity. More electricity is produced per capita by nuclear reactors in Sweden that any other country in the world.Ocasio-Cortez “Green New Deal” sets a goal of shifting the nation to 100 percent “clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy sources, within 10 years.” Her office released a document that said that “The Green New Deal will not include investing in new nuclear power plants and will transition away from nuclear to renewable power sources only.”
One hundred percent renewable power sources only within 10 years is a pie in the sky technological fantasy.
From 1970 to 1990, France and Sweden built nuclear plants that replace coal and oil burning ones to produce clean electricity. Germany will spent over $580 billion by 2025 on renewable, while shutting down its nuclear plants. Germany big shift to renewable has resulted so far in 50% increase in electricity prices and no reduction of emissions (Bloomberg - Are you a robot?).
Germany government made the decision of shutting down nuclear power plants and burn more coal. Germany CO2 emissions are 10 higher than France.
France obtain about 75% of its electricity from nuclear energy and is the world larger exporter of electricity due to the low cost of nuclear power generation. In December 2017 the French President stated that nuclear is “the most carbon-free way to produce electricity with renewables.” A new nuclear plant will start operation in May 2019 (Nuclear Power in France | French Nuclear Energy - World Nuclear Association). Ship filled with fools.
So far the results have been mixed, too many residences are being lost in the transition and we still rely way too heavily on SRO's, 'single room occupancy" another time called "flophouses".
No, we're laughing at the stupidity of NY and their Ocasio-Cortez's who drove away twenty five thousand $150k+/year jobs.
I am a republican who hates TRump.
I am also a NYer.
Cortez seems like an energetic kid with great potential but she really screwed the people of NY with this.
Freakin idiot.
AOC can't have here constituents prosper. They need to stay on welfare, just where she needs them.
So she can save them with her socialism.
Meanwhile the capitalistic multiplier effect in Virginia is going to be awesome.
WABC TV in New York is currently doing a simple poll.
Are you glad Amazon pulled out of the NY deal.
82% to 18% the folks here in NY are voting NO. They are no happy the deal fell through.
Who are these morons who did not want Amazon?
Does anyone know? Specifically?
The Mayor and Governor wanted it and worked hard to get them. Who was it?
Sorry if I gave impression. No glee. I think NYers will suffer and that's nothing to celebrate.
On the positive side, AOC's opponents can now add "job killer" to her rap sheet.
Interesting. I once knew a Jewish friend who lived in Greenwich in a rent controlled apartment for about $1K a month. This was ten years ago and I havent been in touch with him since. Do you know if the rent control stuff is still around?
I make no point about who was most important in stopping the deal. I don't think that's significant or politically interesting. What is important, IMHO, is AOC's visibility (and her encouragement of that) on this issue. She has made herself a future star in Republican ads about job killing. I suspect those ads will feature her and unemployed or under-employed New Yorkers.
2400 sq ft 4 BR 3 BA house in Whittier, $2600/mo mortgage.
Twenty minutes from downtown Los Angeles, which of course is meaningless because downtown LA is not a hub the way NYC is out East. But it gives you an idea where we are.
Now you're even stooping to making excuses for your revisionist lies.
Brilliant.
You guys are like The Walking Dead, you just keep reproducing.
I checked again during my Executive Time on either Friday or Thursday and Three of the top four teams ranked nationally were from Minnesota. Not the U of M, though...
I grew up in Duluth MN and UMD was number three before the loss to North Dakota last night. Maybe they're hanging back to make things interesting.

That's actually damn impressive! I see what you're saying, with SCS, Duluth and MN State being in the top 4. This is a great year for Minnesota college hockey.
