MSM needs to be replaced by robots programmed by normal people.

I’ve tried to imagine her rationale and I think it’s that, as suggested by Bill Gates, that we tax things provided by robots at 90% then the government recycles the tax and hands it out as it sees fit to the no longer employed.

So basically we’ll be like a dog waiting to be given it’s dinner by the oh so merciful government politicians and bureaucrats.

No diff than pelosi saying being unemployed was good for you.

The two “brain trusts” agree, apparently.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected to make Hank ‘Guam will tip over’ Johnson look like Einstein...

I don’t understand the stupidity of AOC.

I like to work. I am over 60 years of age working in technology and putting in 70+ hours a week. It is my contribution to society. But, I’ve also helped to create a fair number of jobs over the past few decades, and thus have helped people better themselves. Not all of them became millionaires but became better off than when they started...what’s wrong with that???

She’s right. Folks will be creatively looking for ways to make ends meet. A lot of it criminal. But winning type people will be creating, programming and maintaining robots.

Now she’s stealing Nasty Nan’s schtick. Nan was the first one to convince everyone to quit their jobS and use the time to learn to play the guitar, write poetry or paint pictures of bowls of fruit. PLAGIARIST!

This is the same argument Obama’s acolytes used a decade ago when unemployment started going up. They argued that being unemployed was actually better for you.

But, but, but ... how are all the nonemployed going to be able to be creative unless they are given gift cards from Michael’s and Hobby Hobby?

The woman’s a total ideologue without an original thought in her head and insufficient intelligence to even pass off her second-hand pabulum in a credible manner, but automation, robotics and artificial intelligence do pose an almost existential threat to employment in the not so distant future. It has to be dealt with somehow.

AOC is the complete product of indoctrination from the romper room until college completion.

They learn only marxism. They really KNOW very little about life and reality.

I am over 60 and still working. In the past I created several small businesses and trained people in their skills so that they could succeed.

I believer it is incumbent upon those whom God gifted with creativity and intellectual capacity to create jobs for others.

This constant blab, blab, blab about handouts for this or that is ridiculous. If these blabbing politicians had any real interest in helping people they would use whatever talents they may have to actually develop the talents of others not just talk about imaginary worlds.
