AOC - she deserves her own thread

When I listen to clips of her speaking she reminds me of the preteenage girl in 6th grade running for class president, trying to sound really important talking about something she doesn't understand, all the while realizing she's in way the hell over her head and hopes nobody notices.........................Luca

A solution for what?  There is no consensus that climate change will be a net negative effect on the world.  Like with all changes, there will be some who suffer from the changes and others who benefit.  Climate change is no different.

Further, the financial costs of the "solutions" she is proposing are more than the anticipated financial losses from those who will be worse off as the climate changes.  That is like spending $50,000 for a special bumper that protects your car one time in a crash when the car itself is only worth $25,000.

The climate is going to change.  People are going to adapt.  Life will go on.

We will differ on this.

i do not give her credit for this monstrosity.  We got assignments in school or in the workplace, we don’t get bupkus for just throwing up [sic] any old treatment.  We get credit for doing the work, putting in our due diligence.

this green new deal has all the earmarks of  junior high school student who pulled it together with her friends at a sleepover.  It isn’t “something” ... from my perspective, it is less than nothing because it has the uneducated sycophants all believing in it.

I guess if she gets credit for proposing a solution, the greater unintended credit will be that she has exposed to the nation that the "cure" to climate change is worse than the disease.

We Colonists have to stick together, so I agree with Dave on this one.  Offering or supporting a "solution" that is as asinine and preposterous as any socio-political proposal in recent memory is not a virtue, nor does it make her worthy of admiration.

But Dave, I think she is absolutely as stupid as she is being perceived.  Luca has her pegged -- she is a mouth that has media catering to everything she says and does, but she has a vacuous, juvenile mind behind it, incapable of ideas deserving of serious thought.

(1) Bick, there has been a Democratic solution for decades.  It's called "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".  It's a perfectly good catchphrase, and you just have to ignore the fact that no Democrat has ever defined what it means.

(2) And someone willing to take a position on something as ludicrous as eliminating all cows, or retrofitting every building in America, is of no more value than if he had spent all his time complaining.  Any debate on the Green New Deal is an exercise in lunacy.
