Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez turned an overpriced croissant into a lesson on the minimum wage.
Croissants at LaGuardia are going for SEVEN DOLLARS A PIECE, the New York Democrat tweeted Monday morning. Yet some people think getting a whole hour of personal, dedicated human labor for $15 is too expensive??
She said her point wasnt that the croissant cost too much.
GOP taking every tweet so earnestly, making my point for me. Its not an argument against the price of the croissant its about the value of human worth, she continued. But I guess the idea is foreign to them since their policies treat people as disposable anyway.
When AOC ran for Congress last year, she supported a $15-an-hour minimum wage, as well as a federal jobs guarantee.

There is another one that would have been better that says "Don't care how, I want it now".
I do think the practice is predatory. They know they have you trapped, it’s exploitative.
I love IPA beer, I had one at the airport, it was 8oz and cost $10.50!
These are two for 4 at Jack in the Box and Burger King in the Midwest.
I’d prefer we stop paying attention to this idiot. We’re raising her numbers on the net.
Because everyone who enters the facility is forced to purchase one or more $7 croissants.
There should be free government croissants. And free government airports so people can like travel free and stuff.
AOC is a whack a doodle. I wish I could be a congressman 180 degrees out of phase with her. It would be fun to troll her.
1. Why is she at an airport in the first place? Shouldn’t she be taking alternate transportation?
2. Does she understand the operating overhead of an airport store?
3. Does she realize that croissants are junk food? (except for chocolate-filled croissants and they are required eating, chocolate being good for you and all)
What’s the chance that bitch has the ability to shut her mouth?
First of all, airport restaurants will rip you off.
Secondly, isn’t the minimum wage in NY $15/hour now?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, when you are at an airport, the restaurants will charge you more, because if you are flying, you can’t go out to Panera to get coffee after going though security.
And the rent is too damned high!
I was sure the first post would read April Fool.
If she’s eating Croissants, that doesn’t say much about her working class stance.
She acts like she’s lived in a bomb shelter her whole life and is just now discovering how the real world works. Such a simpleton.
Airport prices are awful. Thats why the McDonalds and Burger Kings in them are always packed.
Bunch of us from work went to Comerica Park to see the Tigers vs. Indians in 2005. A 24 oz. draft beer was $8.50. Hot dogs were $5. At least the tickets were free...
