The article doesn't necc. deliver on the headline. The article doesn't really explain how this is a blueprint for future critics of big tech. But I give slate kudos for acknowledging that many people in Queens and the state actually see the loss of the Amazon deal as a bad thing - but that it was this side which was more vocal and ultimately victorious. Although - putting it as a victory OVER Amazon I think might be overstating. Really - Amazon still won - they found a better deal somewhere else.
