Not buying it. She grew up in a upper upper class neighborhood and she’s never had a garbage disposal? Like I said, not buying it.
“Like I said, not buying it.”
Focus groups have told Democrats they have a relatability problem. This is why Beto live streamed a teeth cleaning and Warren drank...a beer on a Facebook stream. Both thought they were being relatable to the average deplorable. Seriously, can you imagine Warren actually keeping beer in the refrigerator? Their problem is, they have so little to do with the ordinary lives us deplorables live they have no idea how to be relatable. I suspect AOC was told she needed to do something relatable and she thought that discovering the wonders of a modern kitchen (like the Beverly Hillbillies; remember the ceeement pond?) would be it. I suspect Democrat’s relatability consultants are Ivy League professors who are even more out of touch with the great unwashed masses of us deplorables that they are of no help.
i live in the Yorktown area- very few people here have garbage disposals in there home- always a concern some kid would stick his hand in them- so its likely completely true...
She could well not have grown up with one, but she certainly has seen them and knows the deal.
Good little distraction from Trump’s economic successes, however.
She’s runnimg out of ways to get attention. It’s BS of course, she grew up In a upper middle class house and worked in a resteraunt.
Until recently many communities in NYS did not allow garbage disposal units. So in that regard she could be telling truth. However no building super would fail to show a new resident, especially a member of Congress,the ins and outs of the apartment.
I hate to agree with her but I am 78 and I don’t recall ever having seen one.
I’m not buying it either.
Funny - every time I use the disposal I think of that scene from the Fraser Crane show or whatever it was called. The younger brother Niles announces that he has to fish a bone out of the disposal, and “Nobody get near the switch!”.
As soon as he sticks his hand in, Frasier hits the button on the coffee grinder. Niles does a great job of yanking his hand out.
To me it is sort of like the Archie/Meathead episode of putting on socks. Every time I put on my socks....!
That, and some comedy routine - I can’t remember who by.
“Hidden beneath the bottom of the drawer underwear. You know. I mean they’re clean and all. But they got some holes, the elastic is trashed, but in a pinch - you can still wear them.”
I live in an upper class neighborhood. None of our homes ever had a garbage disposal. I have never seen or used one. Why do you need a garbage disposal when sanitation picks up our garbage twice a week. Can someone explain?
Maybe the maid dealt with the garbage disposal when she grew up.
