[W:57]Newly minted Democratic socialist congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez says New Yorkers

Yes there are plenty of jobs. Millions of Americans are working 2 and even 3 jobs right now....and they STILL can't afford to pay their bills. Isn't it great to see people struggling despite having 2 or even 3 jobs? Maybe it could be that the businesses are paying them rubbish wages. But lets just worry about the CEOs who are struggling on their multi-million dollar pay packets.

There are many very good jobs if you have the required skills.

If I may quote you:



Trump was given a fortune to start with. He managed to bankrupt a casino. Virtually no banks would loan him money.

He's so desperate for money he runs flimflams to scam desperate people out of their last pennies by driving them deep into credit card debt.

$25 million settlement finalized in Trump University lawsuit



Indeed.


President Trump Is Literally the Laughingstock of the World
Donald Trump draws mocking laughter as he boasts of America’s ‘might’ at UN
America the laughingstock
Trump Has Made America Into A Laughingstock
The year the world laughed at the U.S.
European diplomats: Trump is a 'laughing stock'
'People here think Trump is a laughingstock'
Trump is making America the laughingstock of the world

How does anyone bankrupt a casino? And trump supporters STILL think he is a successful businessman. FFS.

That's what it looks to be at this point. I still think she's pretty anti-Semitic as well, despite how much someone wants to try and scrub their social media history. It also doesn't help that she is a mine for some of the dumbest quotes that I've ever seen from a democratic official and is including some of the worst anti-gun rhetoric that I can dig up.

I'm just waiting for her to start doing speeches for Goldman Sachs. Then maybe the democrats can stop pretending about her.

I dont agree with her views but i believe she is sincere. She represents a voice. Not mine but hers should be welcomed for debate. She is an elected represenitive of her district

It appears zimmer - like most republicans - have no problems with businesses not paying taxes, not hiring American workers and treating their workers like slaves.

And this is one of my biggest issues with the Republican party.

Look here and tell me what secondary cities match up with New York or Los Angeles? LA alone has nearly 7 million employed. New York has more than 10 million. How about one of your secondary cities? Pittsburgh has 1.2 million.

That's the problem with a service based economy. Those services have to be concentrated, and as a result our urbanization is centralized.

No single secondary city will match up with any single primary city. That's why they are secondary and primary. The critical fact, however, is that there are many more secondary cities, and in the aggregate they create enough jobs for everyone.

This is a headquarters building for Amazon. How is this eliminating any competition or putting any small businesses out of work?

Yes, she did win her district. Though I think it's because the was almost completely unchallenged.

I am interested in seeing how she handles her fist debate.

So your beef is about NY sweetening the deal to entice Amazon to locate there, and not about competition or small business.

I want more competition for Amazon. I want it to be broken up. Jeff Bezos didn't become the world's richest man because he has a lot of competitors.
