Good catch on the different plaque.

Trans flag has no business there. Regardless of what other flags are there.

The economics major strikes again.

WTH is that even supposed to mean?

God, she's stupid

Can people not email her? Why does she need to create an eyesore with fake notes?

Clearly her staff isn't capable of keeping her from looking like a fool, so they have time for arts and crafts projects in the office

Not defending Gilead but holy cow is AOC an idiot
Asks CEO how to justify $3billion in profit, CEO correct her and says that was revenue. AOC does not know the difference.
CEO also says that number is global, not just US. AOC don't care.
AOC says we the taxpayers own the patent. No we don't. Gilead does.
She said people will die unless Gilead charges $8 like rest of world. No, people could die if Gilead and other generic companies say we can't make a profit at $8 month so we just won't make it at all. That is when people could die when you take away the incentive to make lifesaving drugs.

More on the flag....apparently lots of congress swamp dwellers are hanging the TG flag the past few weeks.

Guess which flag they pulled so they could do so....

The US gets to pay for a lot of R&D for cutting edge drugs. All the socialized medicine countries set price ceilings. I'm guessing that this price covers the marginal cost of producing another unit. In order to pay for the R&D, pharma has to squeeze juice from the only country allowed to pay.

Holy ***** This ***** is weapons grade ******ed. I just can't even fathom why this person is a duly elected representative. I wouldn't let this dumb broad intern at my office, much less trust her to understand and make policy.

Getting people to vote for you and economics are completely different skill sets.

And my guess is Gilead pays their employees from the top all the way to the cleaning crew a pretty decent wage - dare I say a "livable wage". Did she give them props for that?

Cap interest on consumer loans = cap availability on consumer loans

She and Bernie will put every payday and title loan shop in the country out of business. Hurting the very people who they claim to want to help.

Go for it.

I tweeted that exact thing to her.

Payday loans run between 300% and 700% per year. Why isn't she going after them? Hell, loan sharks don't charge that much.

Come on you uneducated mouth breather. Show some real fire in your belly. Haul the payday loan folks and the Mafia heads in front of your committee and rake them for usury. Hell, the Mafia is right there in her own district. I bet they have a shop right down the street from her district office.

Mafia and cartels are going to love this. Eliminate their legit competition. This law isn't going to stop people from making bad financial decisions. They will just get their knees broken instead of their credit rating.

and the very article she retweeted is almost entirely about how this proposed bill would massively reduce the availability of credit... it's like she saw it was from Vox and just assumed it supported her position. and its pretty telling if even Vox is leery of the idea.

"& in many other religions"

Go ahead and say it AOC, we know you want to.

Islamic Sharia


Central to Islamic finance is the fact that money itself has no intrinsic value; it is simply a medium of exchange. Each unit is 100% equal in value to another unit of the same denomination and you are not allowed to make a profit by exchanging cash with another person. A Muslim is not allowed to benefit from lending money or receiving money from someone.

Her TDS is getting worse by the day. She is going to go straight keithdb soon.

The mental stretch she had to perform to get from wanting unborn babies not to be killed, all the way to "far-right theocracy led by a mad king" is pretty amazing.

What's sad is that her entire radical progressive base agrees with her 100%.


BTW: How is she tweeting if we are living in "The Handmaid's Tale"? And how is Mayor Pete running for President? I thought he was supposed to be in one of Pence's re-education camps...

Like how she had to define usury.

To be fair, you have to consider that people actual did vote her into office. They typically need help with these kinds of things.

Hell, those idiots can't tell the difference between a male and a female, much less something more complex like math.

Also to be fair there are people on this board who define usury as any interest at all citing Leviticus or Two Corinthians or somesuch.

Did I miss her explanation of how climate change only affects POC and poor people but somehow spares the richie rich white people? Because that doesn't make sense unless she's living on a completely different planet.

Not exactly the same thing but she has no problem taking more than 15% in income taxes.

Does the $32 include tooling development, engineering, testing, support?

This is one of those things it is impossible to know if the price is gouged without any details. It's not like other commodities.

I'm no fan of govt contracting, I use to be in the middle of it, but the main issue is the requirements put in BY the govt to meet their specs. You have to spend 3 months and $40K just to give them a work plan to review of the work you will have to provide. Then they comment, you answer, you produce multiple deliverables, then you might be able to start your project.

Not even going to go into the monthly progress reporting, billing, etc. Contractors are mostly playing by the rules set on them. They aren't gouging, just complying.
