This mental midget (not a slam on little people) has millions of followers who actually think she's smart and has the answers this country needs. We have 11 million plus job openings and the supply chains are dying because not enough people are getting off their asses and going back to work. Huge companies like Amazon have benefitted by the crushing of small businesses during the lockdowns and can afford to pay higher wages. Incentivizing more people to stay on the couch will not only make big businesses bigger, it will make it much harder for struggling small businesses to survive.
What happened to the party that is supposedly for small businesses?
AOC is starting to get a reputation like Senator Bernie Sanders. They write bills that never get out of committee. She is a great fund raiser and candidates want her to campaign with them, but legislative wise, she is a lightweight.
