After the Seattle-based retail giant announced plans to build part of its second headquarters in Long Island City, Queens, locals took to the street on Wednesday to decry to massive tax incentives New York offered to lure Amazon. Hundreds gathered to protest Amazon's impending arrival in New York, condemning nearly $3 billion in tax breaks and cash grants for the company, and worried the move will drive up rents and overload public transit. The online retail giant announced on Tuesday that it had selected Long Island City and Crystal City, just outside Washington DC, for two new headquarters that will each hire 25,000 people. Figures as ideologically diverse as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (top left) and Tucker Carlson blasted the plan as a taxpayer handout for Amazon.
