YD and FOC

You're a real blue flame special.  #lawyersdontsurf

Utah, get me 2!  #gettothepoint

When in doubt, play the victim.  31 year old congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is making her career based on this principle.  Tread lightly Joe Manchin.

Once again another evil white man being a dick.  "Young lady" is now a slur.  I will agree that the characterization might not apply.  31 years old being young, I'll give you that one for a few more years.  #approachingexpirationdatesoon  Lady, however, is now problematic.  Lady  1) a woman (used as a polite or old-fashioned form of reference)  #oldfashionedlikejimcrow   #politemyass  2) a woman of superior social position, especially one of noble birth.  Referring to someone based on simple biology is now taboo right?  #stopcallingherawomantransphobe  #fuckyourcisgendernorms   And, I feel bad for you if you consider being in congress a superior social position.  #ericswalwellneedisaymore  #yeahbabyyeah  #superiorsupremacy

The fact that she is in the "hallowed halls of Congress" is laughable.  #laughableman

That place has always been filled with corruption, but this is getting ridiculous!  #nadler  #gonad

Apart from being loud, outrageous, and clueless, what are her qualifications?  #shehas2degreesasshole  International Relations and Economics degrees from prestigious Boston University sound impressive. #gotmybachelorsinunicornstudiesfromrainbowuniversity  #canwegetbostonrobinstead  #alsobostonuniversitygrad  #seriouslycanwejustswapthemout

Boston University economics degree?

"The major in economics provides students with a firm understanding of core microeconomic and macroeconomic theory while at the same time providing the empirical skills that are essential to apply economic reasoning in our increasingly data-driven world."

One could argue that she doesn't have a firm understanding of ... anything.  #youforgotaboutcrazy  No one informed this office of ... anything.  #mooseoutfrontshouldatoldya

Would anyone like to posit that AOC is good at normal reasoning?  #helloanybodythereechoechoecho  Now, what about economic reasoning?  Show of hands please. #allpeoplemustnowidentifyassnakes #nohandstoshow  #handsmusthavebeencancelednowtoo

Do you think she has studied any data?  #aoconfused  

How about understanding that a large company, like let's say Amazon, opening up in an area creates thousands of jobs where none existed before. #rocketoutwithyourcockout  #demandforjobscheck  #supplyofjobsuncheck  How can you care about the workers when you fight against the jobs that they need?  #takeyourjobsandshovethem  #sherepresentsyouunemployednewyorkers

How about going to the Met with the rest of your poor unemployed constituents on a non-Gala night just like you suggested they do?  #aretheybeneathyou  #doistillgetinforfree  You'd be expected to wear your life saving mask just like the rest of us.  #howaboutamasktherichdress  

Have the "donor" that got you the Gala ticket take that money and donate it to a homeless shelter, firefighters, health care, infrastructure, or anything else you unseriously drone on about.  #corruptionprivilegewaybiggerproblemthanwhiteprivilege  The price of that dress would also feed a lot of people.  #notthepointracist  #shesarevolutionary  

Sometimes representatives in congress try to do things that their constituents want instead of what the donors want.  Case in point our representative Michelle Steel from Southern California, she is proposing a law to address the corruption.  #michellesteelisagangster

Back to economics, I wonder what the data says about the rich and taxes?  #yourememberdatafrombostonuniversityeconclasses  #numbersrepresentingfactsintherealworld  

Well, the most recent data from tax year 2018 suggests that the rich are already being taxed.  #mindblown  #plottwist  #aocneedsextrastrengthtylenol  The top half of the earners pay 97.1% of taxes.  #geethatsoundslikealot   If we only focus in on the top 5% of earners, they pay #waitforit  60.3% of taxes.  #numbersaresoconfusing  #numbersareracist  #mathisracist  #economistsarewhitesupremacists  #knowingmathisawhitething  #jimcrowsfavoritesubjectiseconomics  #is60biggerthan5  #paytheirfairshare

So to sum it up for you "31 year old assigned female at birth human," you live in a country with a system that does tax the rich.  #basicunderstandingofthesystem  #toomuchtoaskofyourlawmakers  #pumpthebrakeshonkey  Your official salary is paid for by the rich. #caretodonateyoursalary  You already know where all of your other money comes from, and it isn't your poor unemployed constituents dreaming of going to work for Amazon.  #darkmoney #whythemoneygottabedarkcracker

In closing, I'd like to introduce you to a young lady named Erika York.  #ofcoursesheiswhitebigot  She is a professional economist.  She knows how to read, use, and interpret numbers in context.  #themoreyouknow  She actually knows what she talks/writes about.  You seem incapable of learning economics from her (or anyone else), but you might be able to learn a life lesson.  #notworththepaperitsprintedon  If you don't know what you are talking about, please remain silent, stop talking, or simply SHUT THE FUCK UP.  #ifyoudonthaveanythingtruetosaystfu
