Oh and yea it would be bit troubling if she thought what you asked.
just based on her words, it doesn't appear like she understood what the terms of the amazon deal actually were. nor does it appear that anyone else who saw her (except you i guess) actually believes she knew what she's talking about.
if she really did get it, and was just misconstrued by literally everyone, she needs to issue a public statement, because she's getting absolutely slaughtered in the press and by fellow liberal politicians.
in the morning joe clip i posted on the uber-liberal msnbc, they say she's "dangerous," "does not know what she's talking about" and "will hand the election to trump."
bill de blasio and chuck todd on meet the press note that AOC didn't understand the deal at all.
i could not find anyone in the news that seems to be giving her the benefit of the doubt that you are. it would be interesting to see if there were any.
this is a weapon for trump unless she clarifies this.

Yes she does. For completely unknown reasons she assumes the listeners know something about the subject.
again, her statement was hammered by literally everyone alive (not an exaggeration, literally every person on the planet), including actual economists like the two whose tweets i posted.
