Amazon reacts to another AOC attack You have to wonder if AOC is one of Trump's ingenious traps to completely destroy the Democrats.  First she put the kibosh to Amazon's plans to open a huge HQ2 distribution plant in NYC  (which would have brought in tens of thousands of good paying jobs), With a degree in economics (or not?) she fails to understand the tremendous benefits (multipler effect) that this would have brought to NYC, as was realized in Virginia where Amazon is now building.   Then she claims that Amazon pays  starvation wages. Amazon fires back:   '.@AOC is just wrong,' the company wrote Monday, tagging her roughly 4 million followers on Twitter. 'Amazon is a leader on pay at $15 min wage + full benefits from day one. We also lobby to raise federal min wage,'    Amazon executive and former Obama White House press secretary Jay Carney chimed in on Twitter:  'More than 42% of all working Americans earn less than the $15/hour Amazon pays entry-level fulfillment center employees. And all our employees get top-tier benefits. I’d urge @AOC to focus on raising the federal minimum wage instead of making stuff up about Amazon,'    If this is really Trump's strategery, it is simply brilliant. The woman is a train wreck.
