Hopefully not. Of course, she, by her own rhetoric and legislation promoted has proven herself to be batsh#t crazy. So, there is that. At one time, I thought the state Dems didn't even like her, but she got re-elected. I do not understand New Yorkers. She still reminds me of when my daughter was a rebellious teen, but AOC did not grow out of it.

Dingbat AOC tells us all what her definition of Capitalism is in an interview with Yahoo Finance. Here is the key quote: "So to me, capitalism, at its core, what we're talking about when we talk about that is the absolute pursuit of profit at all human, environmental, and social cost."
There are so many things I could say in response to this quote but I will it to you. Discuss.
AOC: Capitalism 'is the absolute pursuit of profit' at all costs

The irony here is that we have so misapplied capitalism that it has opened the door for those who want to take us in the opposite direction.
You are describing DEMOGOGUERY and obama obviously did that. We are not a republic which is what this country was supposed to be, and because we caved into the identity politics strategy to overthrow the republic by making voting a right, we have become a DEMOGOGUERY. That also goes for RINOS and even Trump who wasn't a perfect president by any means.
Nailed it......NAFTA was just the excuse they needed to start closing down heavy industry and either moving or sourcing from other countries rather than to submit to the odious regulations that were being put into place at the time.....it was cheaper to close them down and sell off what they could.

LOL....The point can be argued that NAFTA saved our environment more than industry complying with regulations did.
My town was a "factory town" when I was growing-up with a huge Rayon plant located here.....The pollution was just terrible and when it was finally closed down by the state it was found to be so polluted that it then became a Superfund site for over 20 years. I knew men that got a federal job there when it started and retired before it was completed.
Avtex Fibers Site - a "Brownfield" Success Story
It's a 400+ acre field overlooked by the Skyline Drive today. You can see the drive at about 9-o'clock were a lonesome pine stands next to the road.
On the plus side the Superfund site created about 200 good paying full-time jobs for a long time.....Not to mention the hundreds of local contractor jobs it provided over the course of it's demolition/clean-up.
Paid for by the taxpayers.
I swear though the place was a horror story of pollution....As it started operation in 1940 there were bomb shelters built under it that later became storage areas or were closed-off and abandoned.
The sulfuric acid that was used in the production of Rayon leeched into those areas over time, combined with rain water and filled them, then it ate through the floors and followed the underground limestone formations and polluted the wells of homes across the river from the plant. Same with the open air "acid ponds" that were on site that ate through their liners.....You can't imagine the smell from those.
LOL.....The joke in my AO was "If you want to kiss your GF where it stinks, you take her to Front Royal".
They hauled water to those homes for years till the residents died/sold-out and the homes were folded into the Superfund site and demolished.
Meh, it is what it is, those jobs really helped my AO since we lost 800 jobs and another 400 contractor related jobs when they closed the plant down.
AOC is a typical liberal "let them eat cake" elitist.Yep,

I guess we can permanently blow off the balance of trade thing, if capitalism in American cannot support heavy industry and advances in modern production techniques, for the desire to maximize capitalist profits. The has to be a methods that work at a profit. Otherwise, we will just be the gas can to the world, and all durable permanently made somewhere else and imported to support or lifestyle.
Most people have no idea of what baggage (good and bad) heavy industry brings with it.....Having been there, done that, and have the tee-shirt industry can go and be heavy someplace else.
Actually, its turning the bank account of a ditzy barmaid into a millionaire in a couple of years. She left that part out.Yep,

Where do they buy food that didn't require tractors and fertilizer to grow?
I guess you might know, being from heavy industry. I would be among the "not in my backyard" crowd, most likely if it were done like the 60s or before. It just does not seem to speak well for capitalism, unless a pure globalist.
