AOC mentality reminds me of Star Trek Klingons.
Klingon
I had an idea, maybe Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could hire the people unemployed due to automation to rewrite every blond joke ever written. I had to test it to see how much work it was going to take, so I found a list of 30 blond jokes on internet and pasted them into a word document. Wow replacing blond with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a lot of typing, then I thought, hey find and replace. Where’s that easy button when you need it?
I’ll be excited when she loses hers!
This broad is more than stupid. It is down right wrong to call her stupid because it makes fun of real stupid people. Stupid people will be offended that we call this idiot stupid. Okay, let’s call her a stupid idiot. That fits better. She IS a STUPID IDIOT!!!
But it is also more word salad from the ditzy bartender:
"It is because our technological advancement as a society has outpaced our system for handling finite resources, because now we are approaching infinite resources."
"Our system for handling finite resources" is market economics.
By this: "now we are approaching infinite resources", I think she means the possibility of a near-infinite alternative to human labor, in the sense of automation.
I do not think she is dumb enough to think technology will lead to infinite raw materials. Technology is not alchemy. After all, the entire premise of her Green New Deal is we are exhausting resources and destroying the environment.
What I thinks she is saying is "our technological advancement as a society" has the potential to exceed the ability of a market economy to regulate the supply and demand, because scarcity of labor will be negatively impacted by automation.
I have to believe AOC's study of economics in college was probably heavily flavored with Marxist economics. Marx wrote a piece called "The Fragment on Machines", which many on the socialist left have embraced in light of the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution. Those on the socialist left see the idea of automation replacing human work as the compelling event which will force the adoption of worldwide communism.
"The Fragment on Machines" is a very difficult read, but the core of it is Marx argues labor rightfully owns the machines that replaced labor and their output, because labor originally built the machines. It is the mirror universe version of Francisco d'Anconia's "Money Speech" from "Atlas Shrugged", where d'Anconia claims the output of labor rightly belongs to the person who had the idea for the product, not the person who's muscles built the product.
This is a scary time. Industry will drive towards automation to gain competitive economic advantage. At the same time, the socialist left will embrace the potential anarchy of the labor market disruptions caused by automation to push Marxist solutions.
They used to have places where they kept people whose minds didn’t work right. Maybe some of them need to be re-opened.
With Kamala going after the prostitute vote and AOC in favor of putting everyone out of work with robots, this is going to be a fun election.
I’m re-watching “Wild in the Streets”, very prophetic.

Will Ms. AOC finally acknowledge that the inventions of the cotton gin & the internal combustion engine were major factors that led to the freeing of the slaves?
Typical. The left forces women into the workplace, then complains about people working.
This woman is anal retentive. She wallows in her ignorant stupidity, never knowing when to stop.
Sadly, there are a lot of “free”-trade supporting FReepers who seem to think the same way as she does.
Well, I for one will be simple ecstatic when Occasional-Kotex loser her job.
