Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America picket lines in New York City on Monday, encouraging workers to keep fighting and taking aim at executives such as Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and their “insatiable greed.”
“While this is a fight against AI, more than AI, this is a fight against greed,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
“How many private jets does David Zaslav need? For real. How many private jets do the CEOs need? It is insatiable. It is unacceptable. I do not know how any person can say, ‘I need another $100 million before another person can have health care,’” she continued.
Speaking in front of the Netflix offices in Union Square, where picketers had included Tatiana Maslany, Sandra Bernhard and F. Murray Abraham, Ocasio-Cortez picked up a SAG-AFTRA sign, joined in on the chants (such as “New York is a union town”) and took selfies with many on the lines. She was accompanied by AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler.
Ocasio-Cortez, who serves as the Democratic representative for New York’s 14th Congressional District, called the current moment a “hot labor summer,” comparing the fights of the actors and writers with that of UPS workers, who may soon be striking.
“We have workers all across the country either currently on strike or gearing up to be on strike, because at the end of the day we are all facing the same challenge, which is the concentration of wealth and corporate greed in America,” she said.
“Direct action gets the goods, now and always,” she continued. “The only way that we can do this is by showing them that we are stronger. That our solidarity is stronger than their greed, that our care for one another will overcome their endless desire for more.

She should know, since her “talents” are only capable of ...well...pretty much nothing.
And she’s earning a good salary and one can bet that ...somehow...she’ll be worth a hell of a lot more than one might imagine after her time in the house.
So, even though she’s an ignorant s***, she’ll be a rich igorant s***.
Once again, AOC shows her true colors as a world class hypocrite.
The same can be said of morons like Leonardo DeCrappyActor, AOC 🤓
AOC is the queen of greed and hypocrisy!
A Real Taco and Tequila Queen.
Artificial Intelligence versus Genuine stupidity.
What wins?
“this is a fight against greed,”
war on this
war on that
it’s historic
breaking all records
they are so brave
fighting big oil, big pharma, big industry, big ag, big defense, big tobacco, big education, (until they get a fat check).
.
Everything is some sort of battle with the prog.
No way they can be normal American Citizens living normal lives, from dawn to dusk they must be screaming at someone in an attempt to control them.
NO. CURE.
.
After her performance at the “camps” she should qualify to be a SAGger. Hey arlene.....🖕
Every time I see this pic I think of what my parents would say had I posed for a photo like this. So un-ladylike.
Bewbs….
That outfit cost $1990? Why? I'm glad Mrs D has good taste (like me 🤓)
From the woman that sent thouasands of good paying jobs out of her district.
Funny..🤓 I have to remember that!
Why, yes. Yes it is.
“AS (Artificial Stupidity)
Funny..🤓 I have to remember that!”
It’s NOT artificial.
She trains the models/AlGoreithms.
Greed? As they strike to demand higher salaries for their pockets. In the job I spent my career in, I always said I’d rather have a safer environment to work in, than more money, because what good is more money, if you aren’t alive to enjoy it.
Burn the whole place down as a favor to humanity.
“Greed” being defined as “You refuse to give me what I demand”.
It is a bit like those greedy department or drug stores who want to keep all the merchandise they purchased unless someone pays for it before taking it home.
