i think that was $3 billion in tax incentives, i.e. taxes Amazon wouldn't have to pay, i.e. money not paid.  so AOC takes this $3 billion of non-money, and thinks she can hand it out to constituents, including her favorite category, "unwilling to work".

and she studied economics at the university?  Important message to parents:  don't send your kids to Boston University.  you may have been amongst the best and the brightest when you went in, but you come out full-retard.

I wonder what her high-school classmates thought of her?  was she full-retard back then, or just normal ditz?

shake my head.

I'm starting to read comments from journalists wondering AOC might be a GOP "plant".
They're saying nobody can be THAT stupid unless it's intentional. 


This is the most reasonable explanation I've heard so far.  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

So word is she violated some kind of rule that she isn't able to hire her ex-boyfriend on her staff or something.  Conflict of interest.

But to be fair, what's the diff between that and Trump using his family on committees?   Or do senators and presidents/VPs have a different set of rules? Srs.

The President has special exemptions from gov't nepotism rules to fill White House positions.  He can't appoint a family member to a cabinet position, like JFK did, because the anti-nepotism law was passed to prevent a repeat of that scenario.

Quote
The Office of Legal Counsel, a small office within the Justice Department that gives legal advice to the executive branch, issued an opinion on Jan. 20 concluding
that Trump's decision to bring on Kushner wouldn't violate the federal anti-nepotism law.

"In choosing his personal staff, the President enjoys an unusual degree of freedom, which Congress found suitable to the demands of his office," the office said.

The Office of Legal Counsel found that the president has special hiring authority for positions in the White House that are exempt from the anti-nepotism law.
The opinion relied on a different statute that says the president can appoint employees to the White House "without regard to any other provision of law regulating
the employment or compensation of persons in the Government service."

Congress, on the other hand, has no such exemption:

In an interview, AOC said New York can invest that $3B they didn't "pay" Amazon for tax breaks in better ways!

She doesn't get it! Tax breaks are not money in the treasury you hand to Amazon. It's a discount on the taxes Amazon would have been paying on their profits, on property, etc.

OMG!   :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Poor people not allowed in AOC's luxury apartment complex

Quote
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently moved into a luxury apartment complex in Washington, D.C. that does not offer the affordable housing units that were a key plank in the New York congresswoman’s campaign platform.

Ocasio-Cortez, 29, who said in November that she was concerned about being able to afford rent in D.C., now earns a $174,000 annual salary and is living in a newly built high-rise in the city’s Navy Yard area, the Washington Free Beacon reported last week.

The freshman congresswoman, a self-described socialist, campaigned on a platform to expand affordable housing, and her controversial Green New Deal proposal promises “Safe, affordable, adequate housing” for all.

 But Ocasio-Cortez’s new building — built by leading D.C. developer WC Smith — is part of a luxury complex whose owners specifically do not offer affordable units under Washington, D.C.’s Affordable Dwelling Units program. The Washington Examiner is not naming the building or complex.

In 2018, a civil rights attorney sued the Washington, D.C. government for allegedly discriminatory gentrification policies, claiming that development in Navy Yard area and other parts of southeast D.C. encouraged an influx of affluent “millennial creatives” who displaced minority residents.

Ocasio-Cortez, commonly referred to as "AOC," repeatedly criticized luxury real estate developers during her campaign, claiming that their buildings hiked up rent prices and pushed low-income residents out of their neighborhoods.

Ocasio-Cortez raises eyebrows after comparing Trump's border wall to Berlin Wall

Quote
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez raised eyebrows after comparing President Trump’s border wall plans to the Berlin Wall separating communist Germany from the free world.

The New York Democrat made her remarks during a livestream for supporters on Friday, where she spoke out about the scrutiny she received ever since she won the election last year and dethroned top Democrat Joe Crowley.

“No matter how you feel about the wall, I think it’s a moral abomination,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the issue of the border wall that Trump has been pushing for since getting into office.

“I think it’s like the Berlin Wall. I think it’s like any other wall designed to separate human beings and block out people who are running away from the humanitarian disasters. I just think it’s wrong,” she added.

Quote
“Dear @AOC: Let me serve as your private professor here. The Berlin Wall was meant to keep people inside the socialist/communist utopia and stop them from fleeing to the decadent capitalist west. So as the New Millennial Lenin, you might want to refrain from using this example,” Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist at the John Molson School of Business, tweeted.

I HAVE to think she's a distraction to keep opposition focus elsewhere.  She can't be THAT stupid. . .  ???
