FULL TITLE:
Ocasio-Cortez on Millennials: ‘We’re Like the World Is Going to End in 12 Years if We Don’t Address Climate Change’
‘At some point these chronic realities do reach a breaking point’
====================================================================
The world is going to end in 12 years unless the government takes action, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Monday at a Martin Luther King forum in New York City.
Here’s an excerpt from her interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates:
“And I think the part of it that is generational is that millennials and people, in Gen Z, and all these folks that come after us are looking up and we’re like, the world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change. You’re biggest issue, your biggest issue is how are going to pay for it? — and like this is the war, this is our World War II. And I think for younger people looking at this are more like, how are we saying let’s take it easy when 3,000 Americans died last year, how are we saying let’s take it easy when the end person died from our cruel and unjust criminal justice system?
How are we saying take it easy, the America that we’re living in today is dystopian with people sleeping in their cars so they can work a second job without healthcare and we’re told to settle down. It’s a fundamental separation between that fierce urgency of now, the why we can’t wait that King spoke of. That at some point this chronic reality do reach a breaking point and I think for our generation it reached that, I wished I didn’t have to be doing every post, but sometimes I just feel like people aren’t being held accountable. Until, we start pitching in and holding people accountable, I’m just gonna let them have it.”
Like, this is like serious, you know?..............
I can’t take too much more of her stupidity.
Stupid does not matter to those who assign all value to feelings.
But she has soooo much more to give.
12 years ,is that when she’s old enough to run for President ?
It’s like the moronials WWII. So if we aren’t all fixed by 11 years, 11 months and 29 days, that’ll really suck huh? Remember, sandy could retain her seat for decades to come. Well, if there were any decades to come left. SMDH! When 78% of the 17% of constitutents that voted vote for sandy, well.....
What I like about this is that it’s a round number.
Come 22 Jan 2031...it’s over. No need to save money....renovate the house...do any major landscaping work. I can probably even quit paying taxes after 2029 and not worry about an IRS audit.
Kind of a relief now. Think I’ll crack open a bottle of Glenfiddich whiskey now.
No, it is more likely that the paternalistic programs and their bureaucracies are going to collapse under their own weight and internal contradictions. Basically not too dissimilar from what happened in the Soviet Union and East Bloc, but ones like her are too young to have remembered that.
Gee that’s too bad, cuz she’ll be old enough to be President in what, six?
Al Gore was saying the same thing back in the 80s. Yet....here we are.
Like, Totally!
"Good"
Children should be seen, not heard.
Still true today.
Like we are going to die again!!
Al Gore had said years ago, that the Arctic would be ice free by now, due to global warming.
Yet the Arctic still has the huge year round ice cover.
Are these people ever held accountable for their predictions which don’t come true?
I can’t take too much more of her stupidity.
////////////////////////////////////////////////
Someday (God forbid) she will be President Stupidity to us. And will expect total adoring respect like Obama and Michelle did.
Note:
Around 1996-1997 my liberal coworker at the time had just read some alarming Al Gore quotes and was trying to get me to worry.
He said Gore believes due to global warming (the term then) the population of planet earth has only 10 years left to live. I said “I think he’s wrong. I don’t believe that.” He said, ruefully, “Yeah but what if it’s true. Only 10 years is all we’ve got.”
