She probably took her exams. She has a degree in INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, not Economics. She took a few economics courses. So did I (micro & macro). I have a BS in Engineering and a minor in marketing.

It is not not like so took Integral Eguations or any other higher level math courses. International Relations is one of those degrees similar to Women’s Studies. This is why she was a bartender after graduating from a $60K/year school.

“This is why she was a bartender.”

She also probably looks good in a tight T Shirt and short shorts. The fact is she has a smokin hot body. That is probably how she got ahead in life. I still find it hard to believe that there is not an AOC sex tape floating around the internet somewhere.

Lifting the embargo will not help Regular Cubans. Those dollars only go to Government officials who will decide whom to reward and who to punish.
PS. Tourist currency is not the same currency used by Cuban citizens.

PSS Cuba has their own vaccine they are trying to sell. Think they’ll accept a “Capitalist” jab?

“The embargo is absurdly cruel...”

Translation: “Communism would work if only capitalist countries would give them money and stuff.”

It isn’t just blacks without reliable transportation. Where we live in the South, there are no subways, commuter trains, buses or taxis. I don’t think we have uber drivers. We don’t have car rental places but you can rent a car at the dealership for a hefty price but you’d need a ride there. We don’t have Walmart vans or Amazon drones dropping purchases at our door. We don’t even have pizza delivery so forget those food deliveries city folk take for granted.

Food deserts? Some entire counties have only 1 or 2 grocery stores. One such county had their only store burn down right at the beginning of the covid lockdown and I caught all kinds of nasty flak from clueless FR folk who have stores on every corner. For decades and long before Trump, our only store has had Venezuelan/Cuban type empty shelves and what it does get is the rotten crap city stores refuse. I’ve had to make something like drug deals with “the guy in the back” just to get frozen fish. Yes, this right here in the middle of the good ol’ USA.

Since the lockdowns, we’ve been driving 4 towns over (no grocery stores closer) to a more reliable store but it still has limits and out of stock items.

How about we fix America’s problems before venturing out to every other country in the world that’s going to spit on us anyway.

From Wikipedia:

Ocasio-Cortez graduated cum laude[26] from Boston University in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in both international relations and economics.[27][28][21][29]

Cuba can already trade with the rest of the world so it should be paradise under communism but it is not because of mass murderers like the Castro brothers are in charge.

I want to be away from people by at least several hundred feet. As long as I have delivery service and internet then I am ok with just that plus a pontoon boat to go with my lake home : )

Wikipedia is incorrect.
That was proven to be not correct a couple years ago.
She only has an International Relations degree according to Boston University.

Keep in mind Wikipedia is a very liberal organization and they are not always correct.
For some reason they never changed it.
