Like, again - I get that they could probably find some non-spokesperson look dumb on TV but how do you read that mission statement and think, 'yes, I'd like to scede more power and money to corporations at my direct expense.'

GOP policy accusations about Democrats constantly has me flipping between, "America would be exponentially better off if we even had 20% of what you say..." and "Don't threaten me with a good time!"

Mamdani wants Amazon to employ their drivers instead of treating them as subcontractors. Chuck Schumer's daughter Jessica is lobbying for Amazon against it.

Amazon’s chief lobbyist fighting a delivery worker protection bill in New York City recently endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani is Jessica Schumer, the daughter of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), according to public lobbying records and three sources with knowledge of the situation.

The bill, the Delivery Protection Act, would establish safety, training, and labor standards for delivery drivers in New York. All delivery facilities and service providers would need to be licensed with the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, and companies that operate warehouses could not contract out deliveries to third parties.

In New York state lobbying disclosures (which also covers municipal lobbying), Schumer is listed as one of four lobbyists working for Amazon at the city council. The Delivery Protection Act is named as one of the bills that Schumer and her fellow lobbyists are working on.

The lobbying disclosure indicates that Schumer is the longest-serving member of Amazon’s lobbying team. According to sources, she is the lead lobbyist on the legislation. Schumer “has been in meetings with council members, been doing outreach with council members in opposition to the bill,” said one of the sources. “What I’ve heard is that this is by far the most Amazon has ever spent, more than HQ2 lobbying spent, with Jessica Schumer at the helm.” Another source indicated that Amazon would spend more on lobbying against the bill than any corporation seeking to influence legislation at the council this session.

Amazon has fought this bill in previous years by sending their subcontractors (via an Uber voucher) to testify against it. Schumer has another daughter who lobbies for Facebook and 80+ former staffers are now in various roles in "big tech".

Yeah super good look, she also was a lobbyist for a group that wanted to put trolleys or some other weird shit in NYC that didn't make sense and went nowhere.
