She's a hell of a lot more intelligent than Trump is.

AOC: Give me higher pay cuz it'll help fight corruption.

Just a thought here, if "ALL workers" get a pay increase, doesn't that really, in the end, not change the dynamic at all? It's the age old problem with minimum wage increases - just simply putting more money into the pot just means everyone knows there is more money in the pot and that prices can float upwards to adjust for money available money. I understand and appreciate her concern, which I think is at least genuine, and I also think just letting the market decide things doesn't work either, but I'm sure the answer is somewhat complicated or we'd already have the answer.

And let's say I give everybody in the company a 5% pay raise.

Employee A makes 100,000. They now make 105,000
Employee B makes 50,000. They now make 52,500.

They pay "gap" just widened from 50,000 to 52,500.

Or should Employee B get a 10% raise, while Employee A only get's 5% despite both performing to "Exceeds" levels, so that the pay gap isn't increased?

It's a no win situation...

Why would you use a flat percentage across the board..?



that doesn't make any sense?

It's math. Try and keep up.

For a guy that unflinchingly looked into the void and saw there was nothing she sure does get your goat easily. I bet your buddy Jim Webb goes into a stuttering rage at the mere mention of her name

For a guy who flips shit about my love affair with Sarah Palin constantly you SURE do seem to have a thing for @AOC...

BTW, AOC makes Sarah Palin look like Albert Einstein.

My favorite Palinism (Sarah, not Michael) of all time: “How’s that hopey-changey stuff workin’ out for ya?”

Question for the Board Donks - how is a AOC not a hypocrite for criticizing the current treatment of immigrants at the US border but staying silent on the Maduro regimes treatment of Venezuela's own citizens?

Easy. Selective outrage.

FWIW, listen to Abby Martin’s take on Venezuela on the Rogan Podcast. She was on the ground in Venezuela and claims our establishment media has no fucking clue what they’re talking about there. No one is a saint but Maduro May not be the spawn of satan he’s cracked up to be and Guardo might be more of a plant to protect multinational interests.

And yes, Martin is admittedly left leaning.

as CID loads up for bear...

No surprise you find her credible

It’s called confirmation bias

No surprise you ignored me admitting her possible bias and acknowledging your expertise. Do you struggle with compliments as much as you do open skepticism and opposing points of view? Of course you do!

It’s not as if we don’t have a rich history of doing EXACTLY what she’s claiming in this video.

I take everything with a grain of salt including very smart and knowledgeable people in the foreign service.

You should try it some time.

Who gives a sh!t if Guardo is a plant? We're talking about what Maduro is doing to his own people.

Are you telling me that it's a vast conspiracy that the ICC is being asked to investigate Maduro for crimes against humanity? That 4 million people have fled Venezuela and flooded Columbia, Peru, etc.? Why would CNN, BBC, etc. exaggerate what is going on in Venezuela?

Even if it isn't as bad as the establishment media is making it out to be, do you honestly think the migrants at the border are being treated worse treatment than your average Venezuelan citizen? How can a person of character and integrity in good conscience criticize what is happening at the US border but turn a blind eye to Venezuela?
