Well, AOC brings up the issue of climate change and the morality of having children. Agree if her if you want, but this just shows how politically not astute she is. There's a reason politicians don't dare ever utter the word "overpopulation" regardless of how much truth there might be to it. :lol:

We're swerving off topic but I went through a big thing of looking at economic analysis on States giving tax breaks and subsidies to sports franchises for stadiums some years back and came away thinking it's not a good investment. Here's one recent discussion that is similar to things I read back when I was looking into it (because Louisiana was subsidizing upgrades for the Saints):

https://research.stlouisfed.org/publica ... -stadiums/
Using Bernanke as your economist of choice does NOT help your argument. Phoenix has very similar photos of what the warehouse district looked like before and after Chase Field & America West Arena were built. It’s a thriving, bustling Southtown now, whereas before it was crackhead central. Best money the taxpayers ever spent. Then they went and added a light rail and fucked the whole thing up. :ohno: :ohno:
Light rail has helped downtown more than Chase Field...

"Our planet is going to hit disaster if we don't turn this ship around and so it's basically like, there's a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult.

On Feinstein’s response to the brainwashed kids:
"This idea that 'I've been working on this for x-amount of years,' um, it's like not good enough. Like, we need a universal sense of urgency, and people are like trying to introduce watered-down proposals that are frankly going to kill us. A lack of urgency is going to kill us."

Ban airtravel, ban non electric cars, regulate cow farts, have trains across the ocean, and now um basically like you know ban kids, or um like we’re all going to die.

Wrong. Chase Field/Talking Stick Arena vastly pre-date light rail....now, there's been MORE development because of light rail but the true instigator of redevelopment was Jerry Colangelo and the Suns/DBacks... :nod: :nod: :nod:

If we wanted to control her it wouldn't be hard at all with somebody that stupid. We really don't care it's just hilarious that anyone would want that dumb cunt to represent them.

I guess I’ll put you in the same camp as me -

not concerned at all that any of her proposals will ever see the light of day

BTW- do you think she’ll vote for a compromise Lesser Green Deal? Or is she not that nuanced? I know you don’t like un-nuanced people

"Triggered" implies getting offended by someone and usually wanting them silenced.

Literally every Republican running for office next year is hoping this woman will keep running her mouth. :nod:

When it comes down to it, there's really no difference between the attention she gets and that people like Louie Gohmert or Michelle Bachmann get for the dumb things they say, except Ocasio-Cortez has been in congress about a month and already has more laughable soundbites than the two of them put together. :lol:

See, that's an example of the effect of the fake news coming from the right. None of that is true. The Green New deal resolution does not call for banning electric cars, regulating cow farts, trains across the ocean, or banning kids. There's a Factcheck.org assessment at https://www.factcheck.org/2019/02/the-f ... -new-deal/.
Although the resolution doesn’t say anything about cows, the animal is frequently mentioned by critics of the Green New Deal. The president referenced cows twice — once in his tweet, and again in El Paso.
Some people, including the president, have said that the Green New Deal gets rid of cars or air travel. And as we’ve detailed elsewhere, some popular memes online have even suggested that the plan advocates building “trains over the oceans.”

The resolution does not call for that. It only states that transportation emissions should be reduced “as much as is technically feasible,” and suggests three ways of reaching that goal, including high-speed rail and zero-emission vehicles, which would include electric cars. There is no mention of air travel.
So on and so forth. Look, I read the Green New Deal Resolution and think it has a lot of unrealistic stuff in it. But we have, once again, the right lying about the situation. The lying by the right is out of control right now. And if you are on the right you should be objecting to it.

Could you provide a link? I don't think you're talking about a draft document but we'll see. I think you may be talking about them posting a "Frequently Asked Questions" page that had some jocularity in it and was spun by the right into a claim that the resolution did those things. Like for instance the Frequently Asked Questions page had the statement "...because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”

Bottom line is that the right is claiming that the Green New Deal resolution contains things it does not contain. The right is lying.

And, yes, I am a person on the right by historical standards. That's why what I'm seeing from the right at this time is so distressing. There is nothing worse than seeing your own side slide into dishonesty, immorality, and hypocrisy.

The original document that was initially posted by OCD’s office, and taken down (think within 24 hours after all the ridicule) did call for getting rid of NON electric cars (internal combustion engine), getting rid of air travel, trains across the oceans, regulating cow emissions and paying people unwilling to work. You obviously weren’t paying attention.

As I suspected, that is the "Frequently Asked Questions" page. It is not the resolution, original document or otherwise.
