I think the top replies put it best;

Or he accurately mocked a ridiculously stupid policy and was right to do so

These are the actual policies that A.O.C. has proposed. I can cite the very lines in her office's Green New Deal proposal to correspond to each of my bullet points:

https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=5729035-Green-New-Deal-FAQ

• "Upgrade or replace every building in the US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency"
  
• "Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle"
  
• "Repair and upgrade U.S. infrastructure. ASCE estimates this is $4.6 trillion at minimum."
  
• "Build energy-efficient, distributed smart grids and ensure affordable access to electricity"
  
• "We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast"
  
• {refer to above line about air travel}
  
• {refer to same line above about public transit}
  
• "Meet 100% of power demand through clean and renewable energy sources"
  
• "The plan is to transition off of nuclear and all fossil fuels as soon as possible." and "Move America to 100% clean and renewable energy"
  
• "Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work"

These are not exaggerations. Her own office described a plan of 100% green energy (except nuclear, nuclear no longer counts as green for some reason), refitting literally every building and every combustion-engine vehicle, overhauling all infrastructure and the energy grid, eliminating air travel and providing public transport to all on top of free money to allow people to live without working.

I can finally quit my job and become the lazy POS I've always aspired to be! God bless Cortez

Unwilling to work part was a mistake.

Sign me up

sign her up, too

Green without nuclear

dude, nuke-u-lar energy is spooky and causes autism just like vaccines do
