Amazon pulls out of NYC

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Good for the country overall and sends a message but bad for NYC.

Its a prisoners dilemma situation.

I don’t know about you, but every renter in NYC just sighed for relief just now.

Renters should just own property to get equity.

Not that I entirely disagree (back in the day I thought Dubya's "ownership society" rhetoric was marginally less idiotic than most other budding leftists whom I knew thought it was, although the policies that that rhetoric was supporting obviously turned out to be disasters), but this strikes me as a great example of an unhelpful "should" without reference to an "is" (or, more specifically, a "how to").

Yes, I'm sure AOC's 77% Clinton, 82% non-white, $58k-in-NYC-money-median-income district will be very receptive to a Bloombergist-Bezosist primary challenger.

I remember when to "disrupt" something was understood to mean breaking it or deviating it from a natural or desirable course. I'm not sure when exactly people started using it in a mindlessly positive sense instead of a mindlessly negative one but I sort of wish I hadn't noticed it, on account of cultural hegemony.
