AOC and school should never be in the same sentence.

Though I hear there really is such a thing as clown school

I’ve been involved in several tech startups. All the self-made rich people I know work 16 hour days, seven days a week and sleep on average 4 hours a night. Most view everything as possible. I’m working for such a man right now. Last conversation I had with him he was scrutinizing our costs on batteries.

Just give the bartender all of the loot. She’ll figure things out later.

For those billions “taken” many folks were provided with goods or services they chose to pay for (except government taxes). Second grade economics honey..

AO-C needs to read the chapter in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged on the fate of the 20th Century Motor Company.

She's even dumber than I thought.

The problem is that there are some companies that do fit her stereotypical mold. Ignoring that won’t make them go away. That seems to be the British capitalism model, and I’ve seen it followed too many times. I’ve also seen the American style capitalism model followed. It encourages self starting individualism by rewarding them for innovation. These styles of companies, over the long run, will drive the other types out of business.

"Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude from Boston University College of Arts and Sciences with a BA in 2011, majoring in international relations and economics"

Enough of this BS. The people running these universities need to be investigated, this is really really bad stuff because look at the damage it does, we get people in job positions they have absolute no business being in. Get the damn President from Boston U to explain how a woman who graduated cum laude with a degree in economics doesn't know the first thing about economics

Recent statements from AOC, including this conversation, reveal that she is a Stalinist.

You didn't make those widgets! You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages and, in some cases, real modern-day slavery...You made that money off the backs of undocumented people.

That sounds like she is talking about illegal aliens, who are imported to work at what we call slave wages, paid in cash to avoid withholdings. I presume she agrees, then, that we need to find more effective ways to discourage illegal incursions?

Hey AOC, how could a billionaire (or in this case wanna be billionaire) take a billion dollars? You do realize AOC, that your very statement implies someone else had a billion to take. So how did they get it? AOC, you really ought to look into some facts sometime. Just tossing out sound bites and socialist garbage may make you feel good, but anyone with a modicum of common sense and access to the internet can quickly figure out you’re full of it. Go back to bartending. You’ll have far more success peddling you tripe to drunks. No one will call you on you BS, no one will (repeatedly) point out how wrong you are. No one will tell you how stupid you are. In fact after a couple of drinks they may even say you’re pretty and smart. Maybe more than a couple.

No Billionaire ever held a gun to my head to accept their service. The only one to do that was Obama and my healthcare.

I do not like AOC's politics, but I wish more Republicans had her moxie.

Can a single auto worker produce a sufficient number of cars to sell, develop a market for those cars, sell the cars, and turn enough profit (egad, there's that tyrannical word again) to support his family? Can he even do all of those jobs adequately enough to be marginally successful?

The answer, of course, is an unqualified 'no'. Just the capital investment required to produce a single car is more than a single worker could handle. And because of that, the worker exchanges his labor for what he considers to be an adequate wage and takes his spot within a company. At the end of his shift, he goes home and leaves it to someone else to worry about how to sell the product, and turn a profit. He has fairly traded his time for a wage he agreed to, and the company agreed to pay him that sum for his role in the process.
