Comrade Ocasio-Cortez has big plans for your dinner plate

[Covenantor]

Yeah
...and your point?

[jmacusa]

My point is she is not the ‘’poor oppressed minority Latina from El Bronx’’ that she likes to portray herself as.

[Covenantor]

Huh...we’re in basic agreement...my mocking comment was grounded in her “narrative”, exactly that “poor oppressed Puerto Rican nina”...in effect pointing out she knows darn little about the Bronx.

[jmacusa]

I don’t see how she could. She left when she was five and grew up in Yorktown Heights , a far cry from the Bronx. In the late ‘70s and early ‘80s I worked in a labor union in the Bronx. On West Kingsbridge Road, working on a new VA hospital. That was back in the days when the Bronx was being referred to as “Fort Apache’’.

[Covenantor]

Lol...Lived on Sedgewick at the South end of the Jerome Park Reservoir, 71-73. But yeah, kids 4-5 have pretty strong memories of home neighborhoods, it’s when they become cognizant of the world around them. Know that I do...could bore you and others recounting those. AOC is not worth our further efforts. Much more important things on the burner.

Take care

[jmacusa]

You too. You know the area I’m talking about, right there on Kings Bridge?

[Covenantor]

Yeah...used to get off the Express bus from mid-town near there.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sounds like a business opportunity for someone.

Are they keeping competition out via regulation?
