... and now cauliflower is racist:

Also: community gardens aren't popular with people of color because of colonialism.


I'm confused. She wants people to grow their veggies locally ... but in New York they should be growing yucca plants rather than cauliflowers?

When you combine that with her video a while back where she says plants growing out of the ground is like magic, we must conclude that magic is racist.

I don't know if cauliflower is racist but it is nasty and evil.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

AOC from the interview:

Quote
“What I love too is growing plants that are culturally familiar to the community. It’s so important,” she said as she filmed a community garden in the Bronx.

“So that’s really how you do it right. That is such a core component of the Green New Deal is having all of these projects make sense in a cultural context, and it’s an area that we get the most pushback on because people say, ‘Why do you need to do that? That’s too hard.’”

You know, the more I hear from her the more I think she has no clue at all about real life.  Little details seem to escape her notice, such as the fact that as far back as we know people grew crops for food instead of merely a cultural experiment.

I just realized I'm missing out on the fortune that I could be making.  I can embrace the Green New Deal and get the concession to sell her all the Brawndo those gardens need.  The commercial has already been recorded.

Alright, I listened to the colonizing cauliflower video. And composting is, like, hard. And stuff. I have laughed along with most reports on her while still realizing that given sufficient power she would be right at home administering coup de grace when we're rounded up.

But until now I never listened to her. Her speech patterns are not those of an intelligent person. My God she is dumb. But she was precocious and fun to look at, so someone kept patting her on the head. Now I want to know how SNL nailed it so good with "Girl at the party you wish you hadn't talked to."

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I agree. Thank you for mentioning what I was too chicken to bring up.

Snopes swings and misses (again) and the Babylon Bee knocks it out of the park (again).

UPDATE: we have been notified by Snopes that this story is not true. We would like to retract it. Ocasio-Cortez did not appear on The Price Is Right and guess that everything is free. We apologize for the confusion.https://

I have to again remark at what a good site Snopes was... 20 years ago. TDSanoya will destroya.

Be curious to see if AOC can resist running her mouth on this again

Stupid on Amazon's part, IMO. Of course they're libs, so what do you expect?
The smart move (again, IMO) would have been to just go to any of the other cities on their list that wanted them, and if Amazon does for whatever reason really, really want something in NY or NYC, bide their time and let NY come begging.

The expression on her face is that of a chicken watching a card trick.

Here we go: The only way for "everyone" to have a home to live in is if we stop builders and landlords from making a profit.

There are houses and then there are houses.


Tomorrow she will complain about employers not paying fair wages.

Well, she is from NYC, home of rent control. (And housing shortages and sky-high rents. Not that the three are related in any way.)

Where does anything declare that having a home is a "right" and that making a profit is a "privilege"?

This chick IS now the government, and she has no understanding whatsoever of the role of government.
