"You just ... pay for it" - Ocasio-Cortez cant afford an apartment
- Thread starter Superman
- Start date
So entitled...how does this happen to an upper middle class, entremely fortunate minority.
I dunno, Joe Biden made it all the way to VP.
At my previous job where I owned two franchises of a national cleaning company, I learned that the franchises in Northern California (Silicon Valley) and the Washington, D.C. suburbs kicked all our ***** in sales. I learned that there is never a recession in D.C. Business is always good no matter what your business is because there is so f'n much money. For the same reason it is a very expensive place to live because there are a lot of people with a lot of money and more people want to live there all the time. I know someone who started about the same time I did with a franchise in Bluefield, WV and won a bunch of early sales awards. Southern WV? Yup, close enough to commute to D.C., a lot more affordable, and people would tolerate a 90+ minute commute each way. Everybody either works for the government, a government contractor, lobbying firms, or services those who do. Point being you don't have to work for the government, you can be a Honda salesman and make a killing.

She is definitely at that Cynthia McKinney level.
Bluefield, WV to DC is about 5 hours, but I get what you are saying about the DC suburbs.

Pass the exam! Everyday people can learn before they set foot in Washington. I totally agree. The career politician needs to die. You do want people to know basic **** before they go in. Know your history and have some common sense. If you don't know the difference between capitalism, socialism, communism,libertarianism,liberalism or conservatism. Then you really are not dedicated to the position you're applying for.
It's a temp service job or at least it should be if we could limit terms.
RB, think you might have your geography off (not picking fights). Bluefield WV and Southern WV is *** far away from DC. Really far. It's 5 hours, 25 minutes. It's closer to Pittsburgh from DC than DC to Bluefield.
Charleston is 5 hours 45 minutes.
Now, if you meant the Eastern Panhandle - Martinsburg, Berkeley Springs, etc - that's 90 minutes.
Out of a Crackerjack box. Has to be. Seriously, this is the most deluded and clueless woman I've ever heard on a national stage and I don't even think it comes close. It's actually scary.
But I believe we had someone here brush that aside and claim Trump couldn't pass a rudimentary civics class. Anybody understand Wharton College and the reputation/difficulty there and that Trump is nothing like this idiot?
Obviously the quality of economics education has declined in the modern university.
Quality of education in general has declined in modern university.
I last attend UGA in spring 2010. Some of my classes were very socialist in ideology.
I had an opportunity to sit through a course at unm. And yeah it's bad
Is McKinney the one who said Guam would tip over?
No, that was a guy. Forget his name.
Oh yeeah. That's right. I can't think of his name either. But I do know he's a Democrat. That's all you need to know!!!
"Dank Hank" Johnson
Classic Democrat dumb......
But the new Dems are not to be outdone, they too have modern government school educations to overwhelm us with.
it doesnt matter what Charlotte McKinney said.
**trolling for some that Burgundy karma**

If she were a Republican candidate she would have already leased an apartment with campaign cash and called it her campaign headquarters.

That’s all you got?
Try harder man. This one was bad for two reasons: 1 ) wasn’t funny. 2 ) Republicans have jobs.

Ocasio-Cortez, youth protesters storm Pelosi office to push for climate plan
New York Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the most prominent of the progressive millennials elected to Congress in the midterm elections, joined a protest led by left-wing groups Justice Democrats and the Sunrise Movement outside House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's personal office calling for House Democrats to put forward a climate plan.
Protesters called for Democrats to create a select committee to develop a plan to switch to 100 percent renewable energy
"I have recommended to my House Democratic colleagues that we reinstate the select committee to address the climate crisis," she said in the statement. "We welcome the presence of these activists, and we strongly urge the Capitol Police to allow them to continue to organize and participate in our democracy."
