A few times I have run across people who seem normal but have no idea how anything works. It’s a breathtaking realization when it suddenly occurs to you that the person you thought was normal is so clueless you have to wonder how they are getting along in the world at all.
As an example, I was talking to an enthusiastic wannabe thirty-something author working on a manuscript. He had a uniformed beat cop checking a top secret US government database. When I tried to explain that beat cops didn’t have access to US government secrets he looked confused, then laughed and said, “Well, nobody is going to know that.”
After listening several times to Ocassio-Cortez, I have come to the conclusion she has no idea how anything works. Further, she doesn’t know she has no idea how anything works. The good part, should she get elected to office, is she will be a full time embarrassment to the Democrats in power. They will not be able to shut her up. On the bad side, stupidity is dangerous. The deciding vote on the unrealistic CAFE was a woman who had noticed that occasionally, the instantaneous fuel mileage on her car was as high as 38 mpg. She said she thought, “Well, we’re almost there. Why not go for the full Monty?”
