Protesters invade one of Amazon's New York stores as anger and criticism about QG2 spreads.
On Monday, an Amazon Books store in Manhattan was inundated with protesters protesting the decision to open a portion of the company's second headquarters in Queens, New York State.
Amazon announced earlier this month that it would open offices with up to 25,000 jobs in Long Island City. And while politicians celebrated the move, many New Yorkers reacted with concern and criticism.
Armed with placards and "F — Off Amazon !: A Book of Black Friday Action Songs," the protesters took action on Monday to voice their concerns. The songs and songs include "DeBlasio the Neoliberal Mayor", sung on the tunes of "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" and "The Bezos Song", with lyrics like "Bezos, Bezos, Bezos!" / Your heart is made of / But all our politicians / Align yourself to be your bae. "
