boomer drumpf is better at ignoring trolls on the facebook than woke millennial aoc

funny how she supported her buddy when she told her Muslim constituents to "make them feel uncomfortable" then immediately both started to feel uncomfortable.

OH brother, this broad really doesn't understand math. or thinks her fans wont care enough to look skin deep into the issue.

working off memory here, but it was a 3 billion$ tax break, on an estimated 28 billion$ tax bill, with a 25 billion$ take for the govt revenue. THEN jobs on top of that.

and her response is that this is "revenue neutral"? $25 billion in your pocket is neutral?

i'm sure the casual use of the phrase trickle down won't trigger anyone here lmao

another thing to ponder is what does this '3 billion tax break' do when it's not actively being provided to companies that will expand in the area. it sure as hell isn't going to the small business pizza shops (although it should). it just sits there. so yeah amazon 'didn't win' here, but that doesn't mean anyone else did either.

also when Amazon invariably relocates to a more rural setting and abandons the big city idea their next ask will not include a Helipad or other infrastructure demands. then AOC and company will call this progress and claim it is due to them that this has been removed.

the picket lines had signs that said "no helipad, invest in schools". well, that 200k$ helipad just cost the schools a few billion in straight cash. i suppose if the average simpleton was capable of understanding investments they'd have IRAs instead of lottery ticket addictions and collections of "rare" cat plates.

I just can't believe the woman as a college degree in economics. Like... what the fuck am I doing with myself? Is it really that easy? lol I need to get my ass back to college. Apparently they're just giving the damn things away now days.

An undergrad degree only means you have an introduction to the field. I wouldnt trust half the people from my chemistry department as chemists, endlesssky is a great example as well.

The masters graduates or higher actually, for the most part, knew what theyre doing though.

while this is true, and i can vouch in the CJ field as well, the idea that woman with an econ degree of any kind wouldn't realize that the amazon deal was a 25 billion$ increase in tax collections is either suspect to her education or honesty. the number of times she said she'd prefer to give a 3 billion$ tax break to the people of the district implies to me she was being dishonest rather than ignorant. but really the two thoughts are one in the same so who knows what on earth she was thinking. the bungling of the amazon deal could also mean she's a radical economist, someone who did the ground work in undergrad but with an agenda. we had similar types in the CJ classes, in their minds destined for law school so they can just shit on the system because they'll never be a cop or prison guard. they "learn" to pass tests, the whole time telling themselves it's false. that could be the case with her.
