Ocasio-Cortez is really a study in contrasts in some ways.

I just want to mention, she was working as a bartender. Nothing against honest work. But, she on the other hand, talks of having an economics degree from Boston University. Why, if she has a great college degree from a major university, was she not able to get a job/career appropriate to that education?

And for having an economics degree, it’s stunning that she doesn’t know how the unemployment rate is calculated.

And for having allegedly brilliant ideas about healthcare, such as Medicare For All, she claims it can be paid for in part, by all of the savings on funeral expenses we will experience, because far fewer people will die if only we had socialized medicine.

Ocasio claims that she moved back to the Bronx after college to help her mother. That might have dented her career prospects. Fair enough.

However, after allegedly coming in fourth in her class at Boston University, and majoring in both Economics and Foreign Relations, she quite clearly knows NOTHING about either subject!!!!

What’s wrong? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Sometimes folks just wait tables or bartend while awaiting a new position...

I met my Wife in Minnesota while I was working as the Bar Manager at a large resort and offered her a job as a waitress at the restaurant I managed in the winter at a Ski Resort in Montana...

She agreed and was quite surprised to learn that many of our waitstaff had Masters degrees and there were a few PhD’s as well - they just wanted to spend a winter skiing...

First time in her life she ever was a ‘server’ and she learned how difficult the job is...

She’s now a recovering Journalist who owns several businesses and has changed her party affiliation from D to R...

She also is a big tipper.

As for O-C (D) - I’m positive she never learned a Frickin’ thin from her time as a server - she’s just a rotten socialist!
