Investor and “Shark Tank” star Kevin O’Leary claimed Friday that blue states in America are “uninvestable” thanks to regulations enacted by politicians and quipped that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is “great at killing jobs.”
The business mogul appeared on “CNN This Morning” to discuss the state of the economy after the latest US jobless claim numbers dropped, which showed positive signs regarding low jobless claims.
O’Leary said the numbers, combined with a 4% unemployment rate, make for “an extraordinary economy” in which “we’re hiring every day and we’re competing every day.”
The mogul noted an interesting wrinkle to the post-pandemic economy — that people don’t want to work in an office anymore because many of them have gotten used to working at home, or they entered the labor force during the pandemic and never set foot in an office.
This remote work boom has made another major difference in the new economy, one he claimed “that nobody saw coming.” He said, “This is the competition of states.”
