Why does USBank have an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lookalike pushing a broom in its ad?

Now, here's an ad to draw some attention. Whom does that look like?

Most hard work isn’t glamorous. But it’s worth it. Wherever you are on the journey to your goals, we’re here to help.— U.S. Bank (@usbank) March 29, 2019

By the wildest of coincidences, it follows the socialist "it" girl's recent statements on the value of hard work, the ones she made headlines for because she adopted a black accent to say it for a black audience:

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez: "I'm proud to be a bartender. Ain't nothing wrong that. There's nothing wrong with working retail...There is nothing wrong with preparing that your neighbors will eat."

"There is nothing wrong with being a working person in the United States of America." pic.twitter.com/VTzLpybKfw
I didn't beat her up for the black accent earlier because I found it more striking that the content of her remarks made sense. Yes, there is value in all work, even the most menial work. It's a helluva lot more dignified than a government check, for one. If a black accent is what it takes for Ocasio-Cortez to talk sense, maybe she should keep it.

The ad was created in late March, and Ocasio made her black-accent comments in early April, so it all might be the wildest of coincidences. But Ocasio-Cortez has made similar remarks in the days earlier, to less publicized audiences, so it still may be linked. Most tellingly, the ad was flashed around on Twitter yesterday — yesterday was the first I'd seen of it, and I am an Ocasio-Cortez follower on Twitter, so I can't help but think I saw the ad because of that.

I’d be very interested to know her grades.

Some of the sharpest engineers I’ve ever known were BU grads(and I went to MIT).

Affirmative action, no doubt.

My take?

US Bank is competing with Bank of America and Walmart for illegal wire transfers of American Dollars going ‘back home.’

*SPIT*

LOL! Yeah, during my years on the shuttle program I met more than a few PhD’s who were book smart but dumb when it came to figuring out things that would be common sense obvious to most of us. And, a lot of BS/Mech engineering types that were very good. But, I don’t think she got an engineering degree.
