Flaming hypocrisy from a flaming socialist, naturally

New York Socialist Democrat [aka: socialist] Alexandria Nina Pinta Santa Maria Ocasio-Cortez verbally supports Yellow Cabs in the city, but financially supports Uber, Lyft, and Juno, according to her campaign receipts submitted to the Federal Election Commission. She doesn't actually use Yellow taxi cabs, she just pretends she does and cares about the drivers mental health.

The bug-eyed socialist blames the three innovative companies for the hardships faced by Yellow taxi cab drivers, and even blames them for a suicide of one of them. But she doesn't actually support Yellow taxi cab companies by using their service--she only gives lip service.

Between July and the end of September, her campaign spent almost $4,500 on rides with Uber, Lyft and Juno. The campaign spent zilch point nada on Yellow cabs. She evidently has no shame because she has no humility, and the recent figures show that she isn't ashamed of using the services she criticizes for exploitation [aka: providing people jobs they otherwise might not have] and triggering major depression. [She probably got a "B" in Psych 101.]

Ocasio-Cortez regularly attacks the ride-hailing apps because they underpay its drivers, she claims, and calls their pay "exploitation." If they don't get a minimum of $15 an hour, they aren't getting a living wage.

Except the drivers know the deal and accept it--many drive for Uber et al, as a second job.

Ocasio-Cortez blamed Uber for the suicide of Doug Schifter, a Yellow taxi cab driver who killed himself with a shotgun. He had financial difficulties because the other companies offered New York with alternative and cheaper options that taxis do.

"NYC's fourth driver suicide. Yellow cab drivers are in financial ruin due to the unregulated expansion of Uber. What was a living wage job now pays under minimum," the socialist tweeted, clearly hating innovation and progress and blaming the suicide of those who obviously had mental issues.

But the hypocrite Ocasio-Cortez spent nearly $4,000 on Uber and $2,500 on Juno between April and late June when she beat Joe Crowley in the New York Democratic primary.

When her campaign realized it was outed, it cut excessive spending on Uber trips, spending only $500 in the last quarter, but the cut was offset by Lyft expenses in which the campaign spent $2,700 on rides with the company.

And her campaign kept using Juno, spending almost $1,200 for 50 rides.

So Ocasio-Cortez is no better than any other socialist. She talks out of the side of her mouth and uses your money like a drunken sailor on Cinderella Liberty.
