Ocasio-Cortez then profiles Ileana, a true child of the Green New Deal, who joins the AmeriCorps to restore wetlands.
Most of her friends were in her union, including some oil workers in transition, Ocasio-Cortex says. They took apart old pipelines and got to work planting mangroves with the same salary and benefits.

Oh.....kay....Can someone please remove the crayolas, glue and scissors from her.
Shes nuts, Jim!
“AOC, Tlaib, and Omar are the keys to putting an end to the Left altogether.”
They could already be impeachable and they’re certainly not above reproach. These women and their ideology...are a huge part of the problem. Plus, their feminist attitudes are ridiculously fanatical.
“Luckily, indigenous communities offered generational expertise to help guide the way.
I love AOC’s vision of the future, but I have a few questions. Will Santa Claus still come on Christmas and the Easter Bunny on Easter in her future? Does AOC think that the tooth fairy will be able to continue its recycling program?
