All I have to say is that Alexandra Ocasio - Cortez is an idiot

AOC and school should never be in the same sentence.

Though I hear there really is such a thing as clown school

I’ve been involved in several tech startups. All the self-made rich people I know work 16 hour days, seven days a week and sleep on average 4 hours a night. Most view everything as possible. I’m working for such a man right now. Last conversation I had with him he was scrutinizing our costs on batteries.

I would agree with her on some counts. That $14 Million MacAwful got for making gold carts he never made? That should be clawed back. That half Billion that memory holed after Solyndra crashed and burned? A good bit of that could be clawed back. There are lots of “piles of cash” that should be confiscated.

Just give the bartender all of the loot. She’ll figure things out later.

She, and her leftist comrades, don’t understand that those ‘billion’s of dollars aren’t pre-existing somewhere, just waiting for someone to ‘fairly’ distribute. If North Korea printed the equivalent of a trillion US dollars, would they suddenly be a wealthy nation?

For those billions “taken” many folks were provided with goods or services they chose to pay for (except government taxes). Second grade economics honey..

AO-C needs to read the chapter in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged on the fate of the 20th Century Motor Company.

She's even dumber than I thought.

With reference to Bill Gates she has a point.

The problem is that there are some companies that do fit her stereotypical mold. Ignoring that won’t make them go away. That seems to be the British capitalism model, and I’ve seen it followed too many times. I’ve also seen the American style capitalism model followed. It encourages self starting individualism by rewarding them for innovation. These styles of companies, over the long run, will drive the other types out of business.

"Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude from Boston University College of Arts and Sciences with a BA in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics"

Enough of this BS. The people running these universities need to be investigated, this is really really bad stuff because look at the damage it does, we get people in job positions they have absolute no business being in. Get the damn President from Boston U to explain how a woman who graduated cum laude with a degree in economics doesn't know the first thing about economics

Recent statements from AOC, including this conversation, reveal that she is a Stalinist.

Which companies?
