If everybody would just Wang Chung tonight, Imagine, Strawberry Fields Forever.

Imagine no possessions. And $800 million dollars in the bank.

If TV wasn't biased, AOC skits would be featured on SNL every week.

I don’t think these airports work that way with exclusive rights to sell products written into the lease agreements. And we shouldn’t think of an airport as nothing more than a shopping mall with airplanes flying around it. Think of how costly it is to deliver products to the retail establishments in an airport. It’s not like every storefront has its own loading dock outside where trucks can back up and make deliveries every day. I’ve worked for airport clients with terminals where every truck making a delivery has to go through a perimeter checkpoint and then have a police escort at all times while on the premises.

She knows everything. What an amazing woman.

We should put her in charge of setting all prices for everything in Liberal cities/counties/states in the U.S.

If Johnny pays $7 for a croissant and Susie makes $15 an hour (or not), what is the value of human worth?

“The businesses in airports know they have a captive market as you can no longer bring your own food/beverages through security. The businesses in airports know they have a captive market as you can no longer bring your own food/beverages through security. “

The cost of renting that concession space is probably very high. The equation is cost (rent, taxes, insurance, power, pay, regulation compliance, stock shrinkage, waste, etc.) plus profit equals price. My guess is none of those concession stands is a real profit center. The croissant may cost .30 wholesale. The other costs are probably in excess of five dollars per item sold. AOC truly has no clue. She must fit right in with the other congresscritters who never ran a business.

Send her where gas prices are double what they are here. That’ll get her crazy!!

I really think she ought to spend some time living in places where the govt. is very different from what we have.

[If Johnny pays $7 for a croissant and Susie makes $15 an hour]

If Johnny pays $7 for a croissant and Susie makes $15 an hour, when will Global Warming destroy the Earth by 2030 and why should even Leftist Amazon be able to create jobs in New York City?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind between AOC’s ears.

Let’s dance!!

Uh, the reason crossaints are so high is because your demanding a $15.00 an hour wage. An economic genius as yourself should understand this.

Not to mention the required Union Teamster to haul the stuff from the dock to the store.
