Ocasio-Cortez Praises Venezuela For Making Everyone A Millionaire Through Hyperinflation

Via The Babylon Bee

NEW YORK, NY—In an interview on Meet the Press Sunday, Democratic congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scolded American leaders for not setting the minimum wage as high as Venezuela, whose hyper-inflated currency is forcing minimum wage increases all year long.

Ocasio-Cortez then pointed out that if we would just raise the minimum wage to somewhere in the millions like the socialist South American country did, everyone will be a millionaire.

“Venezula’s minimum wage is, like, millions per month, and ours isn’t even close to that,” she said. “Our minimum wage is, like, seven bucks or something. We call ourselves a developed country, but we don’t even just like print nearly as much money as Venezuela and give it out for free, because of businesses and corporations and things like that.”

She also called Venezuela’s leaders “really smart” for overloading the economy with more currency, and called on America’s leadership to do the same. “It just goes to show that socialism is better because you can inflate the currency to a lot more, and more is better than less, obviously.”

“It’s just common sense, and you know, like, human rights and stuff,” she added.

Meghan McCain did a sequel to a Julia Roberts movie at the funeral. “Petty Woman”

Is New York the dumbest city on the planet? If this thing wins, “like” I guess we’ll have our answer.

Pardon me sir, I know I have a reputation around here for being ruthlessly opinionated, but I have found by communication with women who go by hyphenated names that they are usually nasty stupid liberal bitches. Also, if they also drive Subarus they’re usually militant outspoken lesbians.

What is it about Subarus? Almost every time I see one, it has some kind of bumper sticker indicating a liberal bent, like ‘Coexist’, or ‘I’m With Her’.
Is it just conflation on my part?
Any ideas, anyone?

“It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.” – Murray Rothbard

Took me a while to find the info that it is a satire site, but the fact that I had to look to make sure says something.

She was smart enough to jettison that Pro-palestinian bully Israel line very quickly.

Yes it is satire. However, given enough time that spic twit who has the hyphenated name will or probably has said something that ignorant.

Meet the Press has no transcript or video of this, and does not list her as a guest. YouTube has no video of this either. Babylon Bee doesn’t list the date of the interview, nor do they allow comments. Did this really happen, or is it an attempt to make her appear more idiotic than she already is? Does anyone know the date?

Thing of it is though….She really is that stupid. Being an upstate New Yorker I know. NYC people think they have a moral superiority over the rest of us. They are never wrong,know everything,and will gladly remind us of it. They are arrogant and smug. So of course they are gonna elect her. Come on!!!! They keep electing Cuomo….
