In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business, especially during a recession of the kind that hit New England just as I was acquiring the inn’s 43-year leasehold. I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better U.S. senator and a more understanding presidential contender.
People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP.
It’s not enough to think it’s “important.” We must make it urgent
To this end, Alex will advocate for legislation such as the Equality Act, which would expand existing civil rights law to make discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity illegal. As we advocate for Universal Healthcare, we must also do more to provide affordable healthcare coverage that is gender-affirming and conscientious of the unique medical struggles faced by LGBTQIA+ patients. The issues facing the LGBTQIA+ community are not isolated from the issues facing many of us regarding race and class.
My main problem with Alex is that she represents a direct threat to the United States economy. When thinking of Alex I am always reminded of George McGovern, the Democrat nominee for president that got trounced by Richard Nixon.
McGovern left politics to start a Bed and Breakfast. This is a direct quote about his failed experience:

IMO AOC is even more dangerous than McGovern and Bernie Sanders. Has she honestly even balanced her own bank account? It doesn't seem like it. She didn't even have enough money to rent an apartment in Washington D.C.
Someone that has never even come close to running a business yet spends frivolously on designer clothing... that's dangerous, especially someone that was raised in an affluent neighborhood and family. Even Bernie Sanders and McGovern had kids to raise. They at least have some idea what it takes to balance a budget.
Here is a recent tweet by her:

You heard it. People are going to die if we don't start addressing climate change!

What is she talking about it? Civil Rights already apply to the LGBTQ. Why is she advocating create new civil rights?
Someone like Alex only has knowledge about the U.S economy and politics through the classroom. She is an academic with little life experience trying to promote broad political theories into law. In reality, her proposals are quite radical. They are disconnected from reality and only would benefit a minority of the population.
I am really starting to love just how much of a distraction Ocasio-Cortez has become for the Far Right.She hasn't even taken office yet as one of 435 Representatives and already the Far Right is up in arms against her. :lol:
What makes you think she hasn't balanced her own bank account? Or balanced a budget? Seems like you are assuming an awful lot about her.

She complains about not having enough money to rent an apartment. That's pathetic. Where is her emergency fund? Most people her age should have six months salary saved up.
And she lives in New York where rent is at the highest but is complaining about Dc?

I know.
Somehow a 29 year old first term Congressperson is the epitome of all evil... and she hasn’t done anything yet.
The canniptions over her soundbite interviews are hilarious, too. Apparently saying they want to move to single payer health is not allowed unless you have a thousand page report at the ready to back it up.
Stop race/color baiting.It's a brown woman. For them, things don't get any worse.

This has not a damn thing to do with her race or the color of her skin.

She peddles the idea of socialism in this country. I.E. she believes in a fantasy world.
Well, single payer/UHC which is a big issue for her only exists in every single industrialized country on the planet, which isn't much of a fantasy, more like common as dirt reality everywhere but in the U.S. If we want to see Medicare for all, we need only look to our northern neighbor, Canada, which isn't fantasy.
She just got a new salary of $174,000 a year and I think she has the right to splurge on some great clothes, why not? Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not a threat to anyone and those that claim she is are people that have nothing else to use to defer attention away from the world shaking news of this week. The week isn't even over yet, and Germans have raided Deutsch Bank and seized all their records. Now we're talking real money, not 174k but billions upon billions of money laundering dark money.
It's a brown woman. For them, things don't get any worse.
For some, sure, but I think it's her openness about her Socialist ideology that gets them most frantic.
... Most people her age should have six months salary saved up.
