Ezekiel 33:11
"As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live."

I'm certain that includes the stupid as well.

[DungeonMaster]

Is that Veruca Ocasio Cortez?

There is another one that would have been better that says "Don't care how, I want it now".

[fuzzylogic]

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!

[OriginalChristian]

These are two for 4 at Jack in the Box and Burger King in the Midwest.

[SaxxonWoods]

I’d prefer we stop paying attention to this idiot. We’re raising her numbers on the net.

[samtheman]

Because everyone who enters the facility is forced to purchase one or more $7 croissants.

[SaveFerris]

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.

[blueplum]

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)

[BitWielder1]

Dang! I thought I was joking.

[heshtesh]

What’s the chance that bitch has the ability to shut her mouth?

[Tired of Taxes]

First of all, airport restaurants will rip you off.

Secondly, isn’t the minimum wage in NY $15/hour now?

[Deplorable American1776]

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.

[Hugin]

And the rent is too damned high!

[mombonn]

I was sure the first post would read “April Fool”.

[tom paine 2]

If she’s eating Croissants, that doesn’t say much about her working class stance.

[Hazwaste]

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.

[Larry Lucido]

I don't know, but here's Carmine Appice.

[sheana]

Airport prices are awful. That’s 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...
