Ocasio-Cortez Calls Out Acculturation to Goldman-Sachs' style of Capitalism in Congress "Training"
Back at Reed, The Kennedy School came to our graduating class trying to recruit American politics students for their program- I was one- and I was reminded of a certain stench that I also sense from this recent Congressional "training" incident, why I didn't go, and why I have never fully trusted the Bezos-Bloomberg-Clinton-ish side of the centrists associated with the Democratic Party.
$15 wage is working out here just great, thanks.
It's amazing to watch as Ocasio-Cortez exposes her patronizing opponents as tools and fools. This generation has every reason to be infuriated, and they are done with being dismissed and diminished.
They know damn well the good Earth isn't going to be safe for their own kids unless some fundamentals change, and fast. And all of it will take a forceful return to a healthy democracy and overwhelming political organization.
They're up to it.
Tear it down, girl, and build it back up.

I just picture a conference folder with a big check inside the cover with a handwritten note, "There's plenty more where that came from if you're willing to play ball."
I liked it better when they used to hand out the Jefferson Bible in Congressional orientation, with all the bad magic parts edited out.
A bit of friendly advice. When someone from Goldman tries to tell "you how the game is played," ask if they're going to pick up your legal fees, too.
