New sub-category added today. I only wish I had started this record sooner. This woman is such a menace and frankly, so incredibly ignorant if not absolutely stupid that I am going to archive her comments so everyone can see how none of them have any substance, are founded on nothing, can only appeal to a non-thinking population and represent, quite frankly, a danger to the general welfare of this country.
One need read no further than the headline of our first record which quotes her. The sentence has absolutely no meaning whatsoever. And when taken in view or what is going on in France right now if any meaning was to be ascribed to it that meaning would be the EXACT OPPOSITE of what she is saying. In France, “global warming governance” has caused ‘economic and social’ strife and unrest leading to riots in the streets which are not only against this new ‘governance’ but also against the entire progressive movement. As for what “global warming governance” has to do with race I have no idea. Other than the fact that everything “progressive” somehow deals with race, inequality and here’s the big one, JUSTICE, I do not see how any rational person could even make the connection.
Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Inevitable’ Global Warming Governance Will Create ‘Economic, Social, and Racial Justice’
New York City’s incoming socialist congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, says there will only be benefits, and no costs, to passing a raft of new climate change laws. In particular, she said, a new system of global warming governance will usher in “economic, social, and racial justice.”
suggesting the federal government should nationalize technology the automaker Tesla developed following its receipt of tax subsidies.
“As a matter of fact, it’s not just possible that we will create jobs and economic activity by transitioning to renewable energy, but it’s inevitable that we are going to create jobs,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “It’s inevitable that we’re going to create industry, and it’s inevitable that we can use the transition to a hundred percent renewable energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America.”
The comments came during a recent Bernie Sanders-hosted symposium on global warming.
The incoming congressman did not elaborate on how laws aimed at curbing global warming would create “economic, social, and racial justice.”
Ocasio-Cortez has likened her envisioned global warming programs to another New Deal, or as she calls it, a “Green New Deal.”
“I believe that the progressive movement is the only movement that has answers right now,” she said. “We’re the only ones that are drawing from the lessons of history, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, from some of the most ambitious projects that we have pursued in American history. And that truly again is the scale that it’s going to take.”

It’s past time, she said, that the government gets its “due” for this “investment.”
“I think that there’s so much work that has been done and there are some outlying questions, especially when it comes to investment in technologies, when we as a public choose to invest in private — when we as a public choose to invest in new technologies, we deserve a return on that investment,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And for far too long we gave money to Tesla, we gave money to a ton of people, and we got no return on our investment that the public made in creating technologies. And it’s about time that we get our due, because it’s the public that funded and financed a lot of innovative technologies and that’s another, you know, way to go.”
