AOC says it's good to put folks out of work because she has a job

If she looked like this, would Dems take
her seriously?
Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez [aka: Alexandria Obviously-Confused] (D-NY) said Saturday that folks ought to be "excited" about "being automated out of work." She then went on to support taxing corporations out of business at a 90 percent tax rate.

Ocasio-Cortez made the naive remarks while bloviating at the hard left-leaning South by Southwest Conference & Festival in Austin, Texas — where she also said America was in a state of "garbage" and suggested that former President Ronald Reagan was a racist, their main "go-to" ad hominem attack.

"We should not be haunted by the specter of being automated out of work," said the New York socialist. "We should not feel nervous about, you know, the toll booth collector not having to collect tolls anymore."

Like, you know, right? Like so what if there are no cars for the toll booth collector who would also be a thing of the past. Like he or she can learn to

"We should be excited by that," Ocasio-Cortez continued. "But the reason we’re not excited by it is because we live in a society where if you don’t have a job, you are left to die, and that is at its core a problem. And so there are a lot of different solutions— a lot of different proposed, uh, ideas about how we go about that."

Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of people who did not have a job and did not eat and subsequently died except they didn't.

The socialist with the annoying Jessica Tarlov sounding voice then appeared to support Bill Gates' idea of "taxing robots at 90 percent," explaining: "what that means— what he’s really talking about is taxing corporations at 90 percent, um, but it’s easier to say tax a robot." This is because robots have jobs and while they don't get paid money, we can tax their electrical input.

-People should be “excited” about “being automated out of work” Brilliant point!

“We live in a society where if you don’t have a job you are left to die and that is at its core a problem” And while that's a fact in her mind, it isn't a fact in reality.


Ocasio-Cortez's comments about how "its a core problem" that people should have to work in order to live goes back to her far-left Green New Deal, which stated that it would provide "Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work." This equates to all who are now unwilling to work because of that little thing known as human nature: if you're going to get paid to chill, you chill. Only idiots would work under those circumstances.

Her remarks that people should not be worried about losing their jobs to automation is absurd, as recent reports predict that tens of millions of Americans will be jobless in the coming decades due to automation.

Polling from Pew Research has found that approximately 85% of American "support restricting workforce automation to jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans to do, including 47% who support the idea strongly." 

In other words, take choices away from humans and put robots in dangerous jobs like firefighting, law enforcement, driving cabs in bad neighborhoods and skydiving instructors.

"Over the next 13 years, the rising tide of automation will force as many as 70 million workers in the United States to find another way to make money, a new study from the global consultancy McKinsey predicts," The Washington Post reported.

Occasional-Cortex drew big crowds to hear her annoying voice. But was also the subject of criticism as former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz slammed her Green New Deal, a silly attempt to fundamentally make the country eliminate cows, cars, planes and retrofit every building in America to reduce carbon emissions to zero, which would then kill the planet. Brilliant!

"Going back to the Green New Deal, in the Green New Deal there is a proposal that says that by 2030 every building in America is going to be transformed to clean energy," Schultz said. "Now, that's a well-intentioned idea but it's never going to happen. Let’s propose things that are true, that are honest, that are sincere, and that are realistic."

Like a cup of Starbucks Frackatackatoris Cappucchininno with a splash of cream on every breakfast table, except for the robots.

"There's nothing free in America," Schultz continued. "So these proposals about Medicare for all, and free college, and a government job for everybody, that is not free. So someone is going to have to pay for that and that means that taxes for everyone is going to have to go up or someone's going to have to wave a magic wand and do something that doesn't exist but that has to be paid for by somebody and the difficulty in trying to pay for any of that is we're sitting with twenty-two trillion dollars of debt that has to be addressed."

But Schultzy, if you're the socialist in charge, it isn't your problem.


I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
