Elrich protesting outside of Amazon Fresh

Anonymous
This tweet sums up all that is wrong with this man's approach to business development. He thinks he is protesting against the establishment, and fails to realize he "is" the establishment.

A County Executive should be working directly with Amazon Fresh to work out incentives to increase hourly wages above the starting $15.75/hour. But he just nasty tweets instead and looks like a doofus joining in on a mini street protest.

The cherry on top is Elrich’s own history of fighting attempts to lower housing costs in the county.

He's not the leader MoCo needs, but apparently he's the one our voters deserve...

Unlike YIMBY housing champion Hans Riemer who *checks notes* has also not only fought housing affordability in the county but has used leadership roles in the Council as chair of the PHED committee to do so.

Elrich never chaired PHED and housing is a Council responsibility not a CE responsibility.

Hopefully Mark will drive them out of the county, and then move on to protesting other grocery stores and retailers. We won’t have true social justice until all profit-making enterprises are forced out of Montgomery.

This is why I voted for Elrich. Because I want him to ruin this county.

No wonder businesses don’t thrive in Montgomery County.

Yup. It’s a terrible symbolic message to businesses that they are not welcome here.

Eh, come on, is Amazon really a neighbor any of us want?

They wouldn’t have put up a store otherwise.

Do you really think Amazon’s store is going to treat its employees worse than Giant/Safeway/etc. do?

This is sort of like people screaming about Walmart while shopping at Target...

Giant’s workers are unionized I thought and you don’t normally hear about them doing the crazy scheduling Amazon does.

Target isn’t great, but it treats its workers better than Walmart.

Giant corporate HQ used to be in Bethesda but now is in Hyattsville.

It’s interesting that they’re out there protesting Amazon Fresh but not Whole Foods. We can all fill in the dots as to why.

It’s also interesting that Amazon has an affordable housing financing program that is has used to support housing at metro stations in PG County but not Montgomery.

It’s just more idiotic liberal stuff.

Just raise minimum wage to what he thinks is a "decent wage". What could go wrong?

I have no problem with Amazon and the people who work their can work anywhere they want to. Why is it their fault people work there?

They aren't pulling people in and saying you have to work here.

I wonder if Amazon moved to the White Flint area would he be outside everyday with his microphone protesting?
